PHOENIX – Plans for the proposed State Route 30 in the southwest Valley will be discussed at an open house public hearing in Avondale on Saturday, May 11.

The Arizona Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration invite the public to review and comment on study findings for SR 30, a planned east-west roadway traveling 13 miles between Loop 202 and Loop 303. The recommended alignment of SR 30 is approximately 4 miles south of and parallel to Interstate 10.

The SR 30 public hearing is scheduled as follows:

The event also will include an interactive animation of the proposed SR 30.

If given final approval, a schedule for constructing SR 30 would be determined by the Maricopa Association of Governments, which oversees the Phoenix area’s Regional Transportation Plan.
