All roads led to Pinal County Friday morning as three ADOT executives spoke in Casa Grande at a Pinal Partnership event.
John Halikowkski, ADOT director, Michael Kies, director of ADOT’s multimodal planning division and Jesse Gutierrez, ADOT deputy state engineer for statewide operations, discussed the recent poor grade U.S. infrastructure received.
The state received a low C grade, at risk of slipping into the Ds, from the Society of Civil Engineers, adding the overall U.S. infrastructure system is in poor condition and showing its age.
Kies said, however, Arizona is better off than other states with 96 percent of its bridges in fair to good condition.
