San Tan Valley Welcomes ADOT's Meeting on North-South Corridor Project

A critical moment in shaping our county's transportation future is coming up, and you're warmly invited to be a part of it. The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has some plans in the pipeline, and they want to hear from you!

The Rundown

ADOT's spotlight is currently on the north-south segment 1, which spans 20 miles, stretching from U.S. Highway 60 Superstition Freeway in Apache Junction to Arizona Farms Road. This is a part of the broader 50-mile north-south corridor. Notably, the section in question will be crossing landmarks like Queen Creek (north of Germann), and the Central Arizona Project canal and Magma Arizona Railroad, in San Tan Valley.
