Casa Grande, AZ – Motorists traveling between Casa Grande and Phoenix will face major construction beginning in early 2026, as the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) launches the next phase of the I-10 Wild Horse Pass Corridor Project. The $ improvement plan targets a 10-mile stretch between Gas Line Road and south of State Route 387.

According to ADOT, crews will:
Add a third general-purpose lane in both directions
Build a new interchange at Seed Farm Road
Reconstruct the Pinal Avenue/SR 387 interchange
Widen the Gas Line Road bridge
Remove the Dirk Lay Road bridge

The project aims to improve safety and traffic flow along one of Arizona’s busiest freeway corridors connecting metro Phoenix and Tucson. ADOT says this section is one of four key segments of the broader I-10 Wild Horse Pass Corridor Project.

Drivers can expect lane shifts, slower speeds, and intermittent closures once construction begins. Officials recommend planning extra travel time and monitoring ADOT’s project updates for construction schedules.
