Phoenix, AZ – Motorists traveling through the I-10 Wild Horse Pass Corridor may notice new camera systems as part of an ongoing Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) safety upgrade.
According to ADOT, wrong-way driver detection systems are being installed at traffic interchanges along the 26-mile project corridor. The technology uses thermal cameras to identify vehicles traveling the wrong direction and automatically alerts law enforcement and traffic operations.
Officials say the upgrade is designed to shorten response times and improve safety for drivers on one of the region’s busiest freeway stretches connecting the East Valley to the Gila River Indian Community.
The $400 million Wild Horse Pass Corridor Project includes additional work to widen lanes, improve ramps, and enhance travel flow between Phoenix and Casa Grande.
Drivers can expect intermittent lane restrictions as the systems are tested and activated over the coming weeks.
This initiative follows several high-profile wrong-way crashes in recent years that prompted ADOT to expand detection networks statewide.
