The second segment of a 12.5-mile roadway through the Northwest Valley, which will carry more vehicles and allow for faster speeds, kicks off next year.
Glendale City Council heard an update last week on the Northern Parkway project, which will connect the central and western portions of the city, reducing congestion and facilitating traffic flow from new developments in the western area.
The project first surfaced in 2001 when a Glendale Citizens Advisory Committee saw a need for a regional east/west route west of I-17. The road in the vicinity of Northern Avenue will connect Loop 303, Loop 101 and Grand Avenue through Glendale, El Mirage, Peoria and portions of unincorporated Maricopa County.
