The long‑awaited connection of Crismon Road between Elliot Road and Guadalupe Road in southeast Mesa is making progress after years of planning, funding hurdles, and community discussion. According to transportation program documents, this new arterial segment is now officially in Mesa’s Capital Improvement Plan and moving toward design and construction phases.
The project will close a gap in one of Mesa’s key north‑south corridors, helping ease local traffic and support growth in residential and commercial areas between Elliot and Guadalupe. The extension involves building a new arterial roadway segment — including sidewalks, drainage, curb & gutter, and infrastructure improvements — to connect the currently disconnected sections along Crismon Road.
Mesa’s official Capital Projects Explorer shows the Crismon Road Connection – Guadalupe Rd to Elliot Rd listed as an active roadway improvement project in the city’s planning system. Funding is anticipated to combine local match dollars with federal transportation funds administered through regional agencies.
Regional planning groups like the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) have included this project in competitive federal funding applications, further reinforcing its priority status. Completing this connection is expected to improve traffic flow and neighborhood access in an area of rapid population and development growth.
Local social posts from city leadership also note that planning and federal funding support are in place for Crismon Road — adding community confidence that this long‑anticipated improvement is now advancing.
While a final construction timeline and contractor selection are still being determined, the project is now actively moving forward through design planning stages, with construction expected in the coming years as funding and design wrap up.
