Gov. Doug Ducey announced Monday a $28 million investment that will accelerate the proposed widening of Interstate 10 between Casa Grande and Chandler.

In his State of the State Address, Ducey said:

“The Phoenix-Tucson corridor is an economic artery for our state and it needs expanding. It’s time to accelerate completion of I-10’s widening, in both directions, between our two largest cities. Our budget puts the pedal to the metal, with the construction of a new six-lane bridge over the Gila River. This replaces a 56-year-old bridge. 62,000 people drive over it every day. That’s 23 million a year. So let’s break ground ASAP.”
