Maricopa Association of Governments - Arterial Widening Grant Program – Miller Road – Application 
Summary Recap 
Project Description:   
The City of Buckeye’s Program Management Office seeks to widen Miller Road from Broadway Road to Lower 
Buckeye Road to provide a four-lane roadway (two through-lanes in each direction). Between Broadway Road 
and Lower Buckeye Road, Miller Road is currently a two-lane roadway (one-through lane in each direction) 
with a daily traffic volume of approximately 20,164 vehicles. This project would widen the roadway to 
provide 2-through lanes in each direction, separated by a raised median to ensure safety for all roadway 
users. If awarded, the grant also supports the addition of a six-foot sidewalk with Americans with Disabilities 
Act compliant features to either side of Miller Road. This stretch of road work is approximately one mile.

If awarded, the Award Agreement will be presented to Council for acceptance and approval. Any 
additional Miller Road widening or maintenance needs will come from the General Fund account unless 
additional grant funding opportunities become available, in which case the Grants team will pursue.  
Objectives and Expected Outcomes  
• 
The objective is to expand and enhance the capacity of Miller Road from Broadway Road to Lower 
Buckeye Road. The road is currently operating at or in excess of its full capacity. Widening the road and 
adding additional traffic lanes will increase its capacity.  All roadway users will benefit from the 
proposed roadway improvements through the doubled capacity of Miller Road in this section. A raised 
median and six-foot sidewalk will be constructed to ensure the safety of all roadway users, including 
individuals with disabilities. The project will support economic competitiveness and growth in the 
surrounding area by providing increased capacity and access to new developments, such as the area at 
the southeast quadrant of Miller Road and Interstate 10, and the northeast quadrant of Miller Road and 
Broadway Road.
