## Resource

After 20 years of waiting, Maricopa’s long-awaited highway upgrade on State Route 347 is finally underway—spending $396 million to add lanes, rebuild bridges, and install new interchanges over 14 miles to handle traffic surging from 50K to 80K daily cars. With construction starting in June 2023 and completion targeted by end of 2029, drivers brace for delays while the valley’s vital artery gets a safety and efficiency boost.
