Stay Informed: SR 347 Overpass

[NEWS RELEASE] Utility relocation work is underway in preparation for the SR 347 Overpass project. The official construction of the project is expected to start late this year and take approximately two years to complete. During construction, traffic in the area will be impacted. ADOT is responsible for managing the project. The City of Maricopa is engaged in the process to ensure the project is successful for the future of Maricopa. To help you stay informed on the latest information and lane closures throughout the project the City of Maricopa created the website
www.OverpassTracker.com.

Head to www.OverpassTracker.com for an overview of the project, frequent updates on traffic impacts, project timelines, maps and videos of what the project will look like when complete. The City of Maricopa has also established a 24/7 Hotline for you to call and get answers to more specific questions or concerns at 520-316-6910.

The SR 347 Overpass will create a bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR.) Traffic on SR 347 averages more than 31,000 vehicles per day and future (2040) projections show over 60,000 vehicles per day. There are currently 40 to 60 trains per day; the UPRR has plans to expand service, which would increase train traffic upwards of 100 trains per day. Additionally, the Amtrak station is located just west of the intersection and vehicular traffic is routinely delayed for its passenger operations. The completion of the Overpass project will drastically ease traffic congestion and increase safety in the area.
