The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has selected the Modified Diamond Interchange Alternative (MDI) as the preferred design alternative for reconstruction of the Interstate 10/Baseline Road traffic interchange as part of the current study.  ADOT has published the Design Concept Report (DCR), which includes the conceptual design and justification for selection of the MDI alternative.  You can view the DCR by clicking here and other study information on the project website below.

However, given that community and municipal stakeholders have expressed significant concerns on the proposed access changes at Wendler Drive as part of the preferred MDI design alternative, final design and construction will not proceed at this time.

Thank you for your feedback and participation during this study.
