Maricopa, Arizona, March 13, 2025 The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is currently accepting public comments on its 5-Year Transportation Plan, which outlines key infrastructure projects across the state. Despite ongoing discussions and efforts to advance the widening of State Route 347, the project is not currently included in the plan.

The City of Maricopa recognizes the importance of SR 347 to our residents and continues to explore innovative ways to help move this project forward. While the roadway is managed by the state, the city has been working to identify potential funding solutions to help bridge the existing funding gap. However, rising construction costs continue to be a factor, so securing state support remains an important part of the conversation.

ADOT’s public comment period is an opportunity for residents to provide input on transportation priorities, including SR 347. Community feedback helps shape future transportation decisions and ensures that state leaders understand the needs of growing communities like Maricopa.

The public can provide comments on the tentative Five-Year Program in the following ways: 

• Attend the May 16 public hearing of the State Transportation Board at 9 a.m. Meeting information can be found at aztransportationboard.gov 
• Complete an online comment form at: azdot.gov/5yearcomments 
• Email: fiveyearconstructionprogram@azdot.gov 
• Call the bilingual phone line at: 1.855.712.8530 
• Mail ADOT at: Attn: Nancy Becerra, c/o ADOT Communications, 1655 W. Jackson, Room 179, MD 126F, Phoenix, AZ 85007
