PHOENIX — The Arizona Department of Transportation, in cooperation with the city of Maricopa, the Union Pacific Railroad and the Federal Highway Administration, will host a public hearing on Wednesday, Dec. 3 in Maricopa to discuss the recently released Draft Environmental Assessment for the State Route 347 at Union Pacific Railroad Study.

The proposed grade separation project at SR 347 would help alleviate traffic backups at the Union Pacific Railroad crossing in Pinal County by replacing the existing at-grade intersection with an overpass.

The hearing will be conducted from 6 to 8 p.m. (presentation starts at 6:30 p.m.) in the Maricopa Unified School District Board Room, 44150 Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway, in Maricopa.

The Environmental Assessment public comment period began on Nov. 18 and will end on Dec. 18, 2014. All comments received during the 30-day public comment period will be documented and responded to in the Final Environmental Assessment.

Comments can be provided in the following ways:

Work on a new pavement-improvement project is about to get under way in Pinal County…

Construction on SR 347 starts May 3 and will include removing the existing top-asphalt layer and repaving the roadway with new asphalt. In addition, new pavement markers and updated signage will be included in the $2.5 million project.

The work is happening along the SR 347 between Papago and Edison roads in the city of Maricopa and crews will be paving through the month of May. Construction will wrap up in early July when crews add final striping to the roadway. But, take note – the schedule is subject to change due to a variety of reasons, including weather, material availability and mechanical difficulties.

What to expect during construction

ADOT advises drivers to proceed through or near work zones with caution. Slow down and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.

  • Work hours are scheduled 6 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. Sunday through Thursday.
  • Construction crews will be on-site to control traffic at either end of the work zone.
  • Be sure to allow extra time if you’re traveling or commuting during work hours … delays can be expected.

Business access
Business access will be maintained whenever possible. However, it will be necessary to pave in front of business entrances along SR 347, resulting in intermittent closures. Drivers should use alternative business entrances, if possible.
