What is the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project?
The I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project is ADOT’s largest freeway reconstruction project in the county.
Work on the project is expected to be completed on 11 miles of east- and westbound I-10 between Loop 202 Red Mountain Freeway and Interstate 17.
The project was partly funded by a dedicated, half-cent sales tax approved by local voters in 2004 through Prop. 400.
