Watch this video for an introduction to both project number one and two.
3rd Street Rio Salado Projects
The Phoenix Street Transportation Department is in the planning stage for two projects that would provide a comfortable, low-stress connection for residents walking or riding bicycles from downtown Phoenix to or across the Rio Salado.
Project Details
- Project No. 1: 3rd Street, Rio Salado to Lincoln Street Connector
- Project No. 2: 3rd Street Rio Salado Bike/Pedestrian Bridge
The 3rd Street Rio Salado Bike/Pedestrian Bridge will be funded thanks to a U.S. Department of Transportation RAISE grant. The grant was awarded to the city in August 2022.
Both projects were identified as part of the Transportation 2050 (T2050) Mobility Program and were assigned high priority for the South Downtown Neighborhoods Mobility Study Area.
