the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and the Regional
Transportation Plan (RTP), which includes funding to widen US60
(Grand Avenue) by one lane in each direction along various segments,
between Loop 303 and Interstate 17, to create a continuous six-lane

Project
Status:
The contractor
switched construction activities to
the inside lanes (median) improvements along Grand Avenue, between
L101 and 84th Avenue. Work continues at the intersection of
91st Avenue and Grand Avenue. BNSF Railroad crossing
improvements have begun. Utilities, traffic signal
improvements, telecommunications and retaining wall improvements
continue along the corridor.
The second phase of the Grand
Avenue widening project has begun, which will add a third lane in
each direction on a 10-mile stretch of Grand Avenue, between Loop
303 and 99th Avenue. Construction activity is occurring on the
western portion of the project, between Loop 303 and Bell Road, as
well as on the eastern portion to install three sound walls, between
99th Avenue and 111th Avenue, on the south side of Grand Avenue.
All sound walls are expected to be completed this spring.
