Downtown Links Ribbon Cutting.

The City of Tucson Mayor Regina Romero, Vice Mayor and Ward 1 Council Member Lane Santa Cruz, the Tohono O’odham Nation, the Arts Foundation for Southern Arizona, the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA), the Barraza family and the City’s Department of Transportation and Mobility invite the community to celebrate the completion of this major transportation milestone.

This event celebrates the completion of the Downtown Links Phase III West-End project.

This project is part of the 2006 voter-approved Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) plan and represents a significant investment in Tucson’s transportation infrastructure, designed to improve safety, mobility, and connectivity in and around downtown.

Downtown Links Deck Plaza Parking is available at 9th Avenue/Church Avenue and in the neighborhood north of the Deck Plaza.

The event will include performances by the Barbea Williams Performing Company, the folklorico and mariachi groups from Roskruge Bilingual K-8, a ribbon cutting ceremony, and dedication of the Sixth Street Underpass.

The Downtown Links Improvement Project began construction in August 2020 and represents a major infrastructure investment in the downtown area.

The final phase of the project connects Barraza-Aviation Parkway to St. Mary’s Road and has been delivered in two segments.
