ADOT is currently working on a project to improve safety and enhance State Route 85 (Pima St.) in Gila Bend. The project includes construction of a new, elevated intersection at State Route 85 (Pima St.) and Business Route 8 (B-8), a wider bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad, and realigning both State Route 85 (Pima St.) and Maricopa Road.
