Project Summary:

The Interstate 10 (I-10) Phoenix/Tucson Bypass Study is a preliminary assessment of the need and feasibility for a new transportation corridor that would provide an alternative to I-10, from the Buckeye area to eastern Arizona. A new corridor could be an optional route for travelers who don’t need to go through the Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan areas. Purposes of a new highway, if needed, would include the following:

1. Provide an alternative route to I-10 to relieve traffic congestion in the Tucson and Phoenix metropolitan areas.
2. Provide a shorter, faster east-west route through Arizona that would attract through-trucks and other traffic from I-10.
3. Provide a new route that offers an alternative path for I-10 traffic during construction, maintenance and incidents.
4. Provide a new east-west transportation corridor in Arizona to serve the expected rapid population growth and land development.
