The Arizona Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration are beginning an engineering and environmental study of Interstate 10 between Tangerine Road and Ina Road. The goal for this study is to develop a long-range plan for providing an improved roadway for general traffic, commuters and truck traffic traveling along this portion of the I-10 corridor. To support that goal, the study will:
- Develop and evaluate possible alternatives for widening I-10.
- Develop and evaluate possible alternatives for reconstructing the Cortaro Road and Avra Valley Road interchanges to provide grade-separated crossings with the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR).
- Look at potential improvements to frontage roads in the study area.
The study will include:
- An Alternative Selection Report (ASR) to identify and assess possible alternatives, including the consequences of not making any improvements along this corridor (no-build alternative).
- A Design Concept Report (DCR) to document the preferred alternative.
- An Environmental Assessment (EA) to document public and agency outreach and the potential impacts to the social, economic and natural environments.
- A Corridor Implementation Plan for recommended improvements.
