NORTHERN PARKWAY (EN00142)

Project Description
The Northern Parkway is a planned major highway project that extends 12.5 miles, from SR 303/Estrella Freeway (Loop 303) to US 60 (Grand Avenue), and will replace Northern Avenue for a portion of this distance.  The proposed Northern Parkway will be an enhanced arterial street with grade-separated intersections at major cross streets to eliminate the major traffic signals on Northern Parkway.  The resulting roadway will have twice the traffic carrying capacity of a typical arterial and will enable traffic to flow at average speeds of 45-miles per hour (mph), as compared to typical arterials with average speeds between 25-mph and 35-mph.
