AGUA FRIA TRUCK ROUTE RELIEVER PROJECT
(EN00271)
Project
Description
Truck traffic from mining
operations in the Agua Fria River between Bell Road and Happy
Valley Road has been a concern to residents in the area. In
October 2008, the Maricopa Department of Transportation (MCDOT),
the City of Surprise, the Arizona Rock Products Association (ARPA),
and the City of Peoria collectively partnered and identified a
need for an alternate truck route that would allow maximum
efficiency for the mining operations and promote enhanced
traffic movements, public safety and health.
The
Agua Fria Truck Route Study (MCDOT 2009) recommended a preferred alternative
as an extension of 112th Avenue from Rose Garden Lane north
along the east bank of the Agua Fria River to Pinnacle Peak
Road and 107th Avenue.
The
City of Peoria is moving forward with a final technical
evaluation, final design, right-of-way acquisition and
construction.
