State OKs speeding up freeway projects

Hello!

For your sanity's sake, we hope you are nowhere near a mall today!

Great article on www.azcentral.com, regarding starting freeway projects ahead of schedule - read the whole article HERE, but here's the condensed version:

Maricopa County's total of $193 million includes accrued interest, according to ADOT, and will be divided among these projects:


• Adding a third lane in both directions to Interstate 10 from Verrado Way to Sarival Road in the far West Valley, accelerated to a 2009 start date from 2023.


• Adding a third lane in both directions to Interstate 17 from Carefree Highway to Anthem Way, moved to a 2009 start from 2023.


• Adding HOV lanes in both directions to Loop 101 from Tatum Boulevard to Princess Drive in Scottsdale, moved to 2008 from 2011.


• Adding HOV lanes to Loop 101 from Baseline Road to Loop 202 in Mesa, moved to 2008 from 2010.


• Building a partial interchange for the future Loop 303 at Bell Road in the northwest Valley, moved to 2008 from 2011.


• Making road improvements on Cactus and Waddell roads for crossings at the future Loop 303 in the West Valley, moved to 2008 from 2011.


• Purchasing rights of way for construction of a Williams Gateway Freeway from Loop 202 to Ellsworth Road in Mesa, moved to 2007 from 2014.

 

As one of the fastest growing cities in the nation, it is great to see that the government recognizes the need for continual improvements.  I am glad to learn that they have the foresight to see we'll need these projects sooner, rather than later!
