5-year transportation plan includes wider I-10 in Pinal
Casa Grande Dispatch
The State Transportation Board has adopted a five-year construction program that includes widening Interstate 10 in Pinal County.
The Arizona Department of Transportation’s plan for state highways promotes commerce through investments in major freight and travel corridors, supports greater Arizona through key projects and highlights the agency’s commitment to not only maintaining but improving the quality of pavement, bridges and other infrastructure, authorities said.
Meeting Friday in Holbrook, the State Transportation Board voted to adopt the agency’s 2017-2021 program, which determines projects that will receive funding during the period.
“Major freight corridors that connect Arizona to Mexico and large neighboring U.S. markets will benefit from key expansion projects in this five-year program,” ADOT Director John Halikowski said. “Improvement projects along some of Arizona’s busiest corridors will not only provide better mobility but help enhance trade, commerce and economic development.”
