Is Houghton Road a State Highway?
A. In 1986, the State Transportation Board passed a resolution adopting Houghton Road as State Route 983 and approving the expansion of Pima Association of Governments’ Regional Freeway/Expressway Plan to include the corridor for the future Houghton Road Highway. The resolution did not make Houghton Road a State Highway, but it did allow the Arizona Department of Transportation to study the corridor for possible inclusion in the State Highway System. State Transportation Board Member Si Schorr has asked the Board to consider making Houghton Road a State Highway.
