Phoenix, AZ, October 15, 2026 —

The Arizona Department of Transportation is seeking public input as it studies ways to reshape and improve a congested stretch of Interstate 10 in central Phoenix. The study area runs between the Deck Park Tunnel and the split with Interstate 17.

ADOT is examining current traffic issues as well as projected future congestion, according to the information provided about the study. The agency is offering public meetings and online surveys as ways for drivers and others to share feedback.

The public engagement is part of a study; the available information does not describe specific construction plans or say that a particular design has been selected. It also does not provide details about the meeting dates or locations, the survey deadline, or when the study is expected to conclude.

The stretch identified for review is bounded by two major roadway points: the Deck Park Tunnel and the I-10/I-17 split. ADOT is leading the work, but the summary does not specify which traffic problems are being assessed, what improvements are under consideration, or how public comments will influence the study.

Information about the project’s estimated cost, funding, construction schedule and any required approvals was not provided. The agency’s stated purpose is to address existing traffic concerns and anticipated future congestion on the corridor. Public meetings and online surveys are the feedback channels identified so far.

Further details about the study, including its timeline and the options under review, were not included in the information available.
