John Wayne Parkway (SR 347) Improvements — Smith-Enke Road (SR 238) to Maricopa city limits

Overview

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), in cooperation with the city of Maricopa, is planning a project to widen northbound John Wayne Parkway (SR 347) for approximately 1.3 miles from Smith-Enke Road (SR 238) to just north of the city limits.  This project will help relieve traffic congestion and improve travel times by widening northbound SR 347 and improving the Lakeview Drive intersection.

Key elements of the project include:

• Adding a third northbound through lane on John Wayne Parkway (SR 347) between SR 238 to just north of the city limits
• Adding curb and gutter along the east side of SR 347 from north of SR 238 to Lakeview Drive
• Adding a northbound acceleration lane for traffic moving westbound to northbound at the SR 347/Lakeview Drive intersection
• Reconstructing the existing Lakeview Drive paved median and widening the intersection
• Repairing pavement within the project limits

This project is a partnership between ADOT and the city of Maricopa, with each contributing roughly half of the construction funding. Once completed, this segment of John Wayne Parkway will be turned over to the city for long-term operations and maintenance.
