by Mike Sakal | Queen Creek Independent
As population continues to grow in the Southeast Valley from Mesa to San Tan Valley — and Queen Creek in between — the flow of traffic continues to exceed the capacity of its roads going into State Route 24.
Although Ellsworth from Queen Creek to Germann roads is going to expand from four lanes to six by November, the burgeoning traffic along Ellsworth and Germann are 50,000 motorists a day — when 35,000 is the capacity.
Queen Creek Road is already 10,000 motorists over capacity each day, according to the traffic models completed by the Maricopa Association of Governments.
