Overpass opens at last

The crowd cheered as a train with its horn blaring went under the new State Route 347 overpass, a 16-year project that has finally come to its final stage.

The heat did not stop Maricopa city officials; federal, state and Arizona Department of Transportation officials; school board members; and residents of Maricopa from celebrating the official ribbon cutting for the SR 347 overpass.

The overpass officially opened to the public at 5 a.m. on July 13.

Each of the City Council members also spoke on the success of the project, thanking everyone for their patience and acknowledging the collaboration and the dedication of those who were involved in the making.
