Maricopa Association of Governments - Arterial Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Grant Program – Palo 
Verde Road – Application Summary Recap 
Project Description:   
The City of Buckeye’s Public Works Department seeks to reconstruct Palo Verde Road from the Buckeye 
Municipal Airport south property line to the Interstate 10 Arizona Department of Transportation Right of 
Way. The current roadway surface is “poor”, with a Pavement Condition Index number of 42. The roadway is 
currently experiencing alligator pattern cracking, fatigue cracking in the wheel paths, and several potholes, 
causing safety concerns for all roadway users. The project includes the complete removal and reconstruction 
of the asphalt paving and the addition of all appropriate signage and striping. All striping will comply with the 
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices standards. Americans with Disabilities Act compliant features that 
may be available, needed, and/or required will be addressed and prioritized. This stretch of road work is 
approximately 0.4 miles.
