SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The I-10 Verrado Way Traffic Interchange DCR will evaluate current and projected traffic conditions to
develop up to five concepts for ultimate improvements and up to five for interim improvements, screening
them down to a preferred alternative in each category.
The scope includes:
Traffic counts, crash analysis, operational modeling, and travel demand forecasting
Roadway, drainage, and structural evaluations, including preliminary bridge widening concepts for
the Verrado Way TI underpass
Coordination with ADOT, utility agencies, and stakeholders
Preparation of cost estimates, ADA compliance evaluation, and conceptual signing/pavement
marking plans
One public meeting with supporting materials and comment response documentation
The project duration is estimated at 12 months from Notice to Proceed.
BENEFITS:
This PSA will enable the City to proactively address operational issues at the Verrado Way interchange,
accommodating future growth north and south of I-10. The resulting DCR will provide a technically
sound, cost-informed, and stakeholder-vetted preferred alternative, positioning the City to pursue future
design and construction funding.

Completion of the DCR and Traffic Report will allow the City to advance the preferred alternative into
final design and construction phases when funding is available.
