DOUGLAS – The Arizona Department of Transportation will host an in-person open house on Thursday, April 27 to share information on a study evaluating alternatives for connecting roads from the new Douglas International Port of Entry to State Route 80 .
ADOT is conducting research to recommend preferred future road locations and designs that can safely accommodate commercial traffic as there are currently no paved roads.
The study area is approximately 4.5 miles west of Douglas and the existing Raul Hector Castro Entry Port at Douglas. The area is in unincorporated Cochise County, bounded by State Route 80 to the north, the Mexican border to the south, Brooks Road to the west, and James Ranch Road to the east. Current land use in the area includes commercial, residential and vacant lots.
The open house will provide an overview of the research and provide an opportunity for residents, businesses and other stakeholders to ask questions and provide comments.
An open house is scheduled for Thursday, April 27 from 4:00 to 6:00 pm at the Douglas Visitor Center at 345 16th Street in Douglas. A brief presentation is scheduled from 5:15 to 5:30 pm.
Open House materials will be posted online for those unable to attend the conference. For more information and to submit questions or comments, please visit: AZDOT.gov/DouglasIPOERoadStudy.
