A 23-mile stretch of Interstate 10 between the Phoenix area and Casa Grande will be the focus of a new study designed to improve conditions for tens of thousands of motorists who travel the corridor each day.
The 18-month study is the culmination of an agreement between the Maricopa Association of Governments, the Gila River Indian Community and the Arizona Department of Transportation in an effort to meet future travel demands.
“We certainly know that there’s additional lane capacity that’s required given that the northern sections of I-10 are right around 100,000 vehicles a day now, which is pretty significant; it’s only a two-lane roadway for the most part,” said Eric Anderson, executive director of the association.
Anderson says the plans will provide measures for eliminating traffic problems.
