Public input sought for I-10 Wild Horse Pass Corridor improvement options between Phoenix and Casa Grande

Public encouraged to attend Nov. 18 public meeting and provide comments

With a goal of reducing traffic congestion on Interstate 10 between Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) and State Route 387, the Arizona Department of Transportation, in cooperation with the Gila River Indian Community, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Federal Highway Administration and the Maricopa Association of Governments, is conducting a study to evaluate options for widening I-10 and modifying traffic interchanges and crossroads to improve traffic flow.

A live, call-in/online public meeting will be held Nov. 18 between 5:30 and 7 p.m. to provide details about the alternatives being evaluated and an opportunity for the public to provide feedback. The public meeting will be conducted both online and by phone.

This study will evaluate and assess the benefits and impacts for a range of feasible alternatives, including a no-build (do nothing) alternative. It also will identify mitigation necessary to offset potential impacts. Comments received during the public comment period will be used to help identify a recommended build alternative for the I-10 corridor and to complete the environmental assessment and design concept report documents.
