Design Concept Report and Environmental Assessment
The Arizona Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration are conducting an engineering and environmental study to develop corridor alternatives along US 191 between State Route 266 and US 70 in Graham County, Arizona. ADOT and FHWA extended a public invitation to attend a meeting to learn more about the study and the proposed alternatives on March 16th, 2011.
