The State Transportation Board voted Friday to put a highway overpass for State Route 347 at the Union Pacific Railroad crossing in the Arizona Department of Transportation’s five-year plan.
Inclusion means ADOT will provide funding for the project – something Maricopa has been trying to secure since the city was incorporated in 2003.
The bridge would eliminate traffic delays and mitigate public safety concerns that exist with having 60 or more trains run through the middle of the city each day.
