“I am excited to announce the opening of the Gilbert Road Bridge, which will ensure that flood waters will no longer impact this route, giving residents peace of mind.
The Gilbert Road Bridge is a vital connection in the East Valley between the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC), Mesa, Fountain Hills, North Scottsdale and beyond. It provides a link via State Route 87 (Beeline Highway) for the efficient movement of goods, services, and people across the state helping to secure Maricopa County’s strong economic position.
Furthermore, the bridge is also a celebration of partnership with the Maricopa Association of Governments, the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, and the City of Mesa. I thank them for their hard work and diligent efforts to get to this point. Together, we have created a transportation connection that will serve our region well into the future.”
