News & Coming Events

State Route 802 - Proposed San Tan Freeway

SR 802 conceptually begins at Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) near the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport and heads east towards Pinal County as part of the Regional Transportation Plan approved by Maricopa County voters in 2004. Once in Pinal County, the route continues east and southeast and could join with either US 60 or SR 79. Funding plans call for final design and construction of the portion of SR 802 within Maricopa County to begin after 2015. No funding is currently identified for the portions within Pinal County.

The SR 802 study area lies within or adjacent to the jurisdictional boundaries of the cities of Mesa and Apache Junction, the Towns of Queen Creek and Gilbert, and unincorporated portions of Maricopa and Pinal Counties.
