County’s east-west corridor study begins

Pinal County, in cooperation and coordination with the cities of Casa Grande and Maricopa, is initiating a study to examine new transportation routes that provide connectivity through western Pinal County. Transportation goals include new high-capacity roadways that can handle the projected east-west travel demand within the area.

 A parkway with restricted access is one concept being examined as part of the study.  The study will investigate corridor options within Pinal County that could pass through portions of Maricopa and Casa Grande. 

A large study area has been identified and public input is essential as the county and cities develop concepts to address the projected travel demand. The corridor may also pass through private property, land under the jurisdiction of the Arizona State Land Department, Bureau of Land Management, the Ak-Chin Indian Community, or other jurisdictions.
