Beginning in 2011, Phase 1 of this study included a FeasibilityStudyand Environmental Overview. The
Feasibility Study examined future transportation needs and potential improvements, and the Environmental
Overview identified potential environmental issues in the study area. Based on the Feasibility Study, two
alternatives are being proposed for additional study, as well as the No Build Alternative. Phase2 of this study
includes the preparation of a DCR andEA.

DESIGN CONCEPT REPORT

The DCR will further refine the two alternatives identified in the Feasibility Study. The purpose of the
proposed alternatives is to relieve congestion and improve traffic flow on I-10, and to connect SR 210 with
I-10 to provide commuters an additional route into the downtown Tucson area. The proposed alternatives
were developed based on public and agency input received during Phase 1, as well as the technical analysis
of multiple connection points for SR 210 to connect with I-10.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The EA will describe the purpose and need for the proposed project, and analyze the alternatives that
were considered for further study to evaluate the potential social, economic, and environmental impacts
on multiple environmental resource categories such as: air quality, water quality, biological resources, land
use, noise, and neighborhood and community impacts. As a result of input and analysis from Phase I, two
proposed alternatives, System Alternative I and System Alternative IV, along with the No Build Alternative, are
being carried forward for a more detailed analysis and study. System Alternatives I and IV are summarized on
the reverse side of this fact sheet. With FHWA acting as the lead federal agency, the EA will be developed in
accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act.

STUDY PROCESS
The next step is to begin data collection and technical analysis to evaluate and further develop the
alternatives. ADOT will then prepare the DCR and EA, with an anticipated completion date of spring 2019.
Community outreach is ongoing, and the public will have an opportunity to provide comments on the
DCRand EA before they are final.

Both proposed system alternatives will add or improve interchanges, widen or replace existing
bridges, and remove some existing interchange ramps to improve spacing and traffic flow on I-10.

A collector-distributor (C-D) roadway is a supplemental facility between freeway main lanes and the
frontage roads (see representative example below). Their primary purpose is to move the weaving and lane
changing traffic away from the high-speed traffic on the freeway. C-D roadways accommodate local traffic
allowing the freeway main lanes to function as an express way for higher-speed through traffic. C-D roadways
can improve traffic flow on freeways and their entrance and exit ramps, as well as improve safety by reducing
freeway merging and weaving movements.
