PHOENIX – The public has until today, June 10, to share comments about the engineering and environmental study for the North-South Corridor’s proposed segment spanning 20 miles from Apache Junction to Florence, state transportation officials said.
ADOT has been seeking public comment since work began in April on a Tier 2 Environmental Impact Statement for segment 1 of the North-South Corridor from US 60 to Arizona Farms Road. A separate study will be conducted for segment 2 of the North-South Corridor between Florence and I-10 in Eloy.
“The phase will develop the purpose of and need for the proposed project, develop a preliminary range of alternatives for 400-foot-wide freeway alignments within the 1,500-foot corridor established in the Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement and review potential interchanges,” an Arizona Department of Transportation release stated.
The corridor, also known as State Route 505, is under study to: enhance the area’s transportation network to accommodate the current and future population and employment growth, improve access to future development and other centers of activity, improve regional mobility, provide an alternative to and reduce congestion on Interstate 10, improve north-to-south “connectivity,” and integrate with the region’s transportation network, according to ADOT.
ADOT’s outreach for the study included public meetings in May. Study presentations and materials are available at northsouth-segment1.com.
