State and federal transportation officials will hold a public meeting Thursday to discuss the $86 million I-10/Ina Road interchange project that is set to begin next spring.
The project, which will include a new railroad overpass to carry traffic over Interstate 10 on Ina Road, will eliminate the Ina Road crossing of the Union Pacific Railroad, Arizona Department of Transportation officials said in a news release.
The meeting is set from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the multipurpose room at Coyote Trail Elementary School, 8000 N. Silverbell Road.
This project will be similar to the old I-10/Prince Road interchange that was upgraded last year.
Presently, the Ina Road interchange experiences significant congestion and backups when trains pass through daily, the release states.
The project is expected to be completed by 2018. The funding for this project, among several, was approved in 2006 by voters when they passed a countywide sales tax to fund a 20-year program of transportation improvements.
