I-10 Loop 202 to State Route 387 Wild Horse Pass Corridor
I-10 Bridges Over the Gila River Project
I-10 Bridges over the Gila River Project Mileposts 172 – 174
The I-10 Bridges Over the Gila River Project will replace the existing two-lane bridges with new three-lane bridges with wide shoulders and reconstruct the existing two-lane roadway approaches as three lane roadways in each direction with wide shoulders in the median of I-10. The Gila River Bridge is about 1,400 feet long.
A construction award was made on January 12, 2024 after a winning bid of $50.9 million was received for construction costs. Construction on the bridge is expected to begin in spring of 2024 and last through 2026. Cultural survey work is presently underway in collaboration with the Gila River Indian Community in preparation for construction.
