This project is a Regional Transportation Authority Plan roadway improvement managed by the City of Tucson that will widen Broadway from Euclid Avenue to Country Club Road to a 6-lane arterial, with bike lanes, sidewalks and with bus pullouts where appropriate.  Construction is not anticipated to begin until 2018.
