Willcox Circulation Study

Completed 2022 - The Arizona Department of Transportation and the City of Willcox have completed a study to identify and evaluate issues related to freight traffic in Willcox and its effect on traffic circulation in the city.

A majority of the current and anticipated freight generators surrounding Willcox are located on the southeast side of the city, along State Route 186. Currently, the only way for heavy trucks to access these areas and Interstate 10 is by passing through downtown Willcox, creating congestion and slowing the movement of freight.

The study recommended interim intersection improvements, and ultimately a new alternative route, to make delivery of freight more efficient and improve the quality of life for residents.
