The public has until Wednesday to comment on the proposed I-10/Koli Road traffic interchange along Interstate 10.

The project is located between the existing Wild Horse Pass Boulevard and State Route 347/Queen Creek interchanges.

The Arizona Department of Transportation is preparing an environmental assessment and design memo for the interchange. The project is a partnership among ADOT, the Gila River Indian Community, Bureau of Indian Affairs and Maricopa Association of Governments.

The draft documents evaluate the Recommended Build Alternative as compared to the No-Build Alternative. Select technical reports associated with the draft EA will be available upon request.
