PHOENIX — The Arizona Department of Transportation announced on Monday it has selected a design for an interchange along State Route 347 over Riggs Road, north of Maricopa.
As part of the project, the interchange will include a new bridge along with left and right turn lanes that will improve access and traffic flow to SR 347.
The project will also see removal of the ground level intersection that connects SR 347 and Riggs Road. In its place will be a diamond interchange that will include the new bridge and on and off ramps that will connect the two roadways.
Construction on the interchange is expected to begin in 2027.
ADOT’s project is in partnership with the Gila River Indian Community, the Maricopa Association of Governments and Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Long overdue. Maricopa was allowed to grow at an accelerated pace while the immediate infrastructure didn't keep up.
Phoenix could NEVER have support the population growth without some foresight. IMO still the best run roadway system in place for a top 10 metro area. Im glad the greenies were no where to be found in the 1990's or early 2000's or the AZ snail population would have won. LOL
