City of Tucson celebrates Sixth Street overpass completion
City of Tucson celebrates Sixth Street overpass completion.
City leaders gathered on Friday, Nov. 6, for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of the Sixth Street Underpass.
Two decades in the making, the Sixth Street Underpass is officially open in Tucson.
According to the Tucson Department of Transportation and Mobility, the project is a key part of the Downtown Links initiative, connecting the Barraza-Aviation Parkway to Saint Mary's Road.
The project was funded by the original Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) plan, which voters approved in 2006.
The project connects Barraza-Aviation Parkway to Saint Mary's Road and includes smart intersections, public art, and an outdoor community space.
Completing the underpass was a complex process that faced several hurdles.
