I-10/Jackrabbit Trail Traffic Interchange Project

Overview

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), in coordination with the Maricopa Association of Governments and the city of Buckeye, will be constructing a project to improve the interchange at Interstate 10 and Jackrabbit Trail.

The project will be implemented in two phases

Phase 1 (construct traffic interchange) improvements include:

• Reconstructing the existing traffic interchange and adding traffic signals.
• Widening the interchange ramps to provide additional turn lanes.
• Removing and reconstructing the existing I-10 bridges over Jackrabbit Trail.
• Widening Jackrabbit Trail to three lanes in each direction south of McDowell Road to south of Interstate 10

Construction of phase 1 improvements is anticipated to begin in August 2026 and take approximately two years to complete.

Phase 2 improvements include:

• Widening Jackrabbit Trail to three lanes in each direction south of the I-10/Jackrabbit Trail traffic interchange to just north of Van Buren Street.

This project is included in the Regional Strategic Transportation Infrastructure Investment Plan and will be funded in part through Proposition 479, a dedicated half-cent sales tax for transportation approved by Maricopa County voters in 2024.

Project Area

The Phase 1 project limits include the I-10/Jackrabbit Trail traffic interchange and extend from south of McDowell Road to north of Roosevelt Street.

The Phase 2 project limits extend from south of the I-10/Jackrabbit Trail traffic interchange to north of Van Buren Street.

What to Expect

Construction is scheduled to begin in early August 2026 and is expected to take approximately two years to complete. The project will require full closures and lane restrictions on I-10, Jackrabbit Trail and the I-10 on- and off-ramps at Jackrabbit Trail, primarily during overnight hours and weekends to minimize impacts to commuting traffic. Long-term ramp closures (approximately 45 days) and a 20-day closure of Jackrabbit Trail will also be needed to complete the interchange reconstruction. ADOT will provide advance notice of restrictions and closures to email subscribers and on the project web page.
