The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has scheduled a public meeting for Thursday, February 12, to discuss the design of the first segment of the planned State Route 30 in the Southwest Valley. The meeting will take place from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Western Valley Middle School cafeteria in Phoenix, with a formal presentation set for 6 p.m. Presentations will be available in both English and Spanish.
The project covers a 4.5-mile stretch between Loop 202 (South Mountain Freeway) and 97th Avenue, with construction expected to begin in summer 2027. Funding for this project comes from the Maricopa Association of Governments’ Proposition 479 regional transportation plan, which was approved by county voters in 2024.
State Route 30 is planned to run parallel to and south of Interstate 10, near Broadway Road. According to ADOT, “The meeting will allow ADOT’s project team to share design plans, answer questions and receive comments about the first 4.5-mile leg of SR 30, which will include three travel lanes in each direction.”
This section is part of a broader effort within the MAG Regional Transportation Plan that includes additional projects over several years aimed at building SR 30 between Loop 202 near 59th Avenue and an upcoming extension of Loop 303 in Goodyear. A regional half-cent sales tax approved by Maricopa County voters will help fund these initiatives.
ADOT manages statewide highway infrastructure and transportation services across multiple modes including highways, aviation, and motor vehicle operations. The agency oversees planning, construction, maintenance and works with partners on traveler information systems and infrastructure improvements as described on its official website. Jennifer Toth serves as director of ADOT and leads efforts related to planning, design, construction, maintenance and operation throughout Arizona’s transportation network according to ADOT.
