North-South Segment 2 Tier 2 Environmental Impact Statement and Design Concept Report Arizona Farms Rd to Interstate 10 (SR 505)

Overview

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) will be conducting a Tier 2 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Design Concept Report (DCR) for North-South Segment 2 from Arizona Farms Road to Interstate 10 (SR 505). The Segment 2 study corridor spans approximately 31 miles from Florence to Eloy. Segment 1 of the North-South corridor between US 60 and Arizona Farms Road is a separate but related effort that is also underway.

In 2021, ADOT selected a 1,500-foot North-South Corridor route as part of the previous Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) study. ADOT will now be conducting a Tier 2 EIS study, which will refine the corridor to a preferred 400-foot SR 505 highway alignment and identify the location of interchanges and other features.

During the current study phase, ADOT is seeking public input on the project purpose and need, as well as anything the study team should consider in developing preliminary alternatives for the highway alignment and potential interchange locations. Public meetings will be held in August 2025 to provide information on the study and seek the public’s input. See meeting information below.
