Transportation Committee approves SR347-Riggs overpass
inMaricopa
A state House bill appropriating $35 million to construct an overpass at State Route 347 and Riggs Road passed out of the Transportation Committee and was assigned to the Appropriations Committee.
All present members voted in support on Wednesday.
If eventually passed by the Legislature and signed by the governor, HB 2068 would move the money from the General Fund to the Arizona Department of Transportation in Fiscal Year 2022. The project would require more funding and multi-governmental cooperation. Its lead sponsor is Rep. Bret Roberts of Maricopa (R-District 11), who sponsored a similar bill in the last session.
