ADOT public meeting focuses on I-10/Baseline Road interchange

The Arizona Department of Transportation will conduct a virtual meeting Thursday to provide an update about planned improvements at the Interstate 10 traffic interchange with Baseline Road.

ADOT is evaluating potential design alternatives designed to improve traffic flow for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists ahead of recommending a preferred alternative, state transportation officials said.

The virtual meeting, which will include a presentation by ADOT’s study team, will start at 6 p.m. Aug. 8. To register: tinyurl.com/i10baseline . The meeting also will allow ADOT study team members to answer questions and accept public comments.

Among alternatives for the intersection is a modified diamond interchange and another is a diverging diamond interchange. A no-build alternative also is being evaluated.
