MAG and ADOT approve I-10 relief project between 303 and 202 freeways

Plans for a major traffic infrastructure project in Buckeye are gaining momentum, with city leaders announcing significant developments aimed at alleviating congestion on I-10. During a recent government meeting, officials confirmed that construction will soon begin on new intersections along Miller and Watson roads, which are expected to serve as crucial relievers for the busy interstate.

City representatives expressed relief that the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) and the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) are finally prioritizing this project, which has been in the pipeline for some time. "We finally convinced MAG and ADOT that they need to start looking at it instead of just waiting forever," one official noted, highlighting the urgency of the situation.

The project will not only enhance local traffic flow but also connect to a larger network aimed at easing I-10 congestion. A key segment between the 303 and 202 freeways is set to begin construction soon, further supporting the goal of reducing traffic on I-10. This new infrastructure will allow trucks and commuters to bypass downtown areas, facilitating smoother travel to Tucson and beyond.

As Buckeye continues to grow, the development of State Route 30 is also on the horizon, promising to link the 202 freeway directly to downtown. This connection is expected to significantly improve access for residents and businesses alike, paving the way for a more efficient transportation system in the region.

With these advancements, Buckeye is poised to enhance its traffic infrastructure, addressing the needs of its expanding population and improving overall connectivity in Maricopa County.
