Major corridors for passenger and freight traffic would be expanded and improved during the next five years as part of a proposed annual update to ADOT’s lineup of projects that will be available for public comment beginning Friday. The 2019-2023 Tentative Five-Year Transportation Facilities Construction Program also reaches the department’s goal of allocating at least $260 million per year for preservation of bridges and highways throughout the state highway system. ADOT Director John Halikowski says there is a need to preserve and maintain the $21.5 billion system to keep Arizona highways and bridges in good repair and functioning as they should. The public comment period ends at 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 5. The complete report will be available on Friday, at azdot.gov for review and comment.
