The state’s “preferred” corridor for a future north-south freeway is less-convenient to downtown Florence than the one supported by Pinal County and area cities and towns.
Arizona Department of Transportation representatives held a public meeting and gathered comments on the future freeway Oct. 1 at Florence High School. The freeway, which is 20 years or more away from construction, is intended to be a low-access, high-speed route from Interstate 10 in the Eloy area to U.S. 60 in Apache Junction. Interested persons may continue to submit comments on the draft environmental document through Oct. 29.
