ADOT reopens SR 85 ramp in Buckeye
Posted
INDEPENDENT NEWSMEDIA
The Arizona Department of Transportation has reopened the reconstructed ramp connecting northbound SR 85 to westbound I-10 in Buckeye.
It took crews three weeks to complete the improvement work and reopen the ramp to traffic late Friday night, Sept. 30.
ADOT also reopened the upgraded ramp that connects eastbound I-10 to southbound SR 85.
A third ramp in the area, connecting westbound I-10 to southbound SR 85, also will be improved starting early next year, according to ADOT.
The ramp work is part of the state’s $82 million project to widen an 8-mile stretch of I-10 between Verrado Way and SR 85, scheduled for completion in summer 2023.
In addition to third lanes being added in both directions along the freeway, the I-10 interchange at Watson Road will be reconstructed as a diverging diamond interchange. The Miller Road interchange was modernized into a diverging diamond earlier this year, ADOT officials said in a release.
A next phase of work, which will require the temporary closures of the westbound I-10 off- and on-ramps at Watson Road, is slated to begin in mid-October.
