I-10/Jackrabbit Trail Traffic Interchange Study

Overview

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

A two-phased approach was created to expedite addressing traffic congestion at the I-10/Jackrabbit Trail interchange while continuing work on the overall project.

Phase 1 Planned 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.

Phase 2 Planned 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.

In September 2024, ADOT completed the final Design Concept Report (DCR) for improvements at the I-10/Jackrabbit Trail traffic interchange.

ADOT developed the DCR and environmental evaluation based on current and projected traffic volumes that account for surrounding development at the interchange.

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.
