PHOENIX — The second part of construction for the Interstate 10 Wild Horse Pass Corridor Project is set to begin, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT).
This will be the second out of four segments of the project. The full I-10 Wild Horse Pass Corridor Project spans 26 miles of I-10 from the Loop 202 to north of Casa Grande. It is expected to be completed in 2029, according to the project’s general construction duration timeline.
Active construction will begin on Sunday.
Construction crews will work on the 10-mile stretch of I-10 in both directions from Gas Line Road to south of State Route 387, north of Casa Grande.
What’s the point of the I-10 Wild Horse Pass Corridor Project?
The overall purpose of the project is to widen I-10 south of Chandler to north of Casa Grande, providing motorists three lanes of travel in each direction.
Specifically, the HOV lanes in each direction on I-10 will be extended from Loop 202 to Riggs Road, and a fiber optic backbone for freeway management technology will be implemented.
Watch for crews in the I-10 Wild Horse Pass Corridor next week. On Jan. 12, construction begins on I-10 from Gas Line Rd to south of SR 387. Crews will widen I-10 to 3 lanes and upgrade interchanges. This summer, I-10 between Loop 202 and the Gila River will begin construction. pic.twitter.com/X8OD8Cn5Aa

After this second segment of the project is done, crews will start building on an 11-mile stretch of I-10 in both directions from the Loop 202 (Santan/South Mountain Freeway) south to the I-10 Gila River bridges. That’s scheduled to start this summer.
From there, the fourth segment will kick off late this year. In the final stretch of the project, crews will start working on the three-mile stretch of I-10 between the Gila River and Gas Line Road.

Wild Horse Pass Corridor Project appropriately named because you are building to support the transit option of the past. It might as well be a dirt road celebration. Our new name is Old America instead of North America. They should hand out a pack of cigs when you drive down these outdated roads.
