A revised plan will be submitted by the New River/Desert Hills Community Association to Maricopa County officials.

Partial Cloverleaf at I-17/Carefree Highway
State transportation officials say a partial cloverleaf at the interchange is expected to accommodate traffic volume over the next 20-30 years. The $17 million Arizona Department of Transportation project is expected to break ground in the summer of 2007 and be completed by the end of 2008.
Traffic is projected to increase from 9,600 vehicles per day in 2006 to 12,000 vehicles in 2016. Ever feel like your at the end of this line of traffic?? It’s about time - now what about widening I-17, which should’ve been done YESTERDAY.
