The State Route 347 overpass construction project in Maricopa is right on track.
“We’re making great progress,” said Thomas Herrmann, public information officer for the Arizona Department of Transportation. “A couple weeks ago we poured the concrete on the deck of the portion of the bridge over the railroad tracks. The next big thing is to pour the deck on the section that goes over the Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway. We’re looking about two weeks out on that.”
Overnight on April 24 and again April 30, the Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway will be closed from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., as construction crews pour the concrete deck over the highway.
“So, it will have the least impact on traffic,” Herrmann said. “We’re moving forward on that.”
Herrmann said when examining the project timeline, it looks like the overpass will be open to initial traffic in late June or early July.
