Global Water Resources (GWRS) applauds the Arizona Department of Transportation, ADOT, for adopting its $11.6 billion 2026-2030 Five-Year Transportation Facilities Construction Program, including more than $249 million for several planned improvement projects on the State Route 347 corridor. The projects represent a transformative investment in regional infrastructure that will enhance safety, improve mobility, and support the continued growth of the City of Maricopa and surrounding areas. SR 347 serves as the primary transportation corridor connecting Maricopa to the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Currently accommodating more than 58,000 vehicles daily, the highway has long been a bottleneck for commuters and commercial traffic. The projects will expand SR 347 by one lane in each direction over a 13-mile stretch between City of Maricopa Limits and Interstate 10, eliminate key traffic signals, and upgrade critical intersections and bridges. Design work is slated to begin later this year, with construction anticipated to commence in fiscal year 2026.
