The Arizona Department of Transportation shared its findings on a draft environmental assessment for a Loop 303 extension to around 500 West Valley residents at a public hearing on June 27.
The project proposes extending the Loop 303 through a route south of Van Buren Street to Elwood Street going through Cotton Lane. If all goes as planned, construction could start in 2020 with the extension open to traffic in 2022.
The project is part of an effort to accommodate traffic in the growing West Valley, said Gabriella Kemp, community relations project manager at ADOT.
