The city of Apache Junction, faced with increased construction costs for road and safety improvements on Winchester Road and for bicycle and pedestrian improvements on Delaware Drive, is seeking more than $680,000 in federal funds from the Arizona Department of Transportation.
The Apache Junction City Council voted unanimously May 7 as part of a consent agenda with other items to approve intergovernmental agreements with ADOT for $333,671 to be used on Winchester Road from 29th Avenue to Southern Avenue and $354,067 for Delaware Drive from 16th Avenue to Broadway Avenue.
The city sought additional federal funds for road and safety improvements on Winchester Road — and for bicycle and pedestrian improvements on Delaware Drive — in 2023 because of construction-cost increases during design, Project Engineer Raquel Schatz said during an April 15 council work session.
