Welcome to the SR 72 Improvements Project (from McCoy Road to SR 71) website. This project will reconstruct deteriorating pavement, widen SR 72 to increase traffic capacity and operations, add pedestrian, bicycle and transit facilities, and improve safety. Improvements will begin in Summer 2022 and are expected to be complete by Summer 2024.
