Overview

The I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project area ran along 11 miles of Interstate 10 between the Loop 202 (Santan/South Mountain Freeway) and the I-17 Split.

Project Components

The goals of the project were to improve traffic flow and increase safety by eliminating weaving and lane changes.  
The major components of the project included:

  • Widening I-10 to six general purpose lanes and two high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes in each direction between US 60 (Superstition Freeway) and I-17, and adding a fourth general purpose lane in each direction between Ray Road and US 60
  • Adding Collector-Distributor roads parallel to I-10 between Baseline Road and 40th Street to separate through-traffic on I-10 from local traffic entering or exiting the highway
  • Rebuilding the I-10 interchange with SR 143 to improve traffic flow and create direct connections to and from SR 143 for drivers in the I-10 HOV lanes
  • Replacing the Broadway Road bridge over I-10
  • Replacing the 48th Street bridges over I-10
  • Widening the I-10 bridges over the Salt River
  • Building two bridges for pedestrians and bicyclists over I-10 between Baseline and Broadway roads (at Alameda Drive and the Western Canal) and improving the Sun Circle Trail crossing at Guadalupe Road
  • Building sound and retaining walls where warranted.

This project was delivered as a Public-Private Partnership (P3) and Design-Build (DB).

Find Your Lane: Navigating the Collector-Distributor (CD) Roads

Built as part of the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project, the Collector-Distributor (CD) roads separate through-traffic from local traffic entering and exiting I-10 between 40th Street and Baseline Road. This reduces the need for vehicles to weave between lanes and help keep traffic flowing on I-10.
