The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has updated its five-year vision for capital projects after receiving approval for its $11.3 billion Fiscal Year 2027-2031 Transportation Facilities Construction Program.
The document provides a strategic framework highlighting the highest priority infrastructure and development projects over the next five years. Projects will fall into three primary categories: preservation, modernization and expansion. Included projects will prioritize maintaining assets and extending the service life of infrastructure, upgrading the efficacy and safety of highways without adding capacity and other assorted improvements to add capacity through new facilities or services.
ADOT will distribute funding across three distinct geographic regions: Greater Arizona, Maricopa County and Pima County. Some of the largest projects taking place in the Greater Arizona region include:
- $120.7 million to rehabilitate 17.3 miles of pavement along US 93 from Hoover Dam to Householder Pass.
- $82.6 million to rehabilitate 16.4 miles of pavement along Interstate 15 from Virgin River Gorge to the Utah State Line.
- $60.9 million to rehabilitate 15 miles of pavement along US 93 from I-40 to Blake Ranch Road.
- $58.6 million to rehabilitate 11 miles of pavement along SR 260 from Knottingham Lane to MP 357.
- $52 million to rehabilitate 11 miles of pavement along I-40 from MP 342 to MP 353.
- $51 million to rehabilitate 12 miles of pavement along I-40 from MP 132 to MP144.
Projects slated for Maricopa County include:
- $531 million to improve the interchange between Deer Valley Road and Loop 303.
- $438.3 million to reconstruct the intersection of US 60, 35th Avenue and Indian School Road into an elevated intersection. Plans include modifying nearby roadways to improve connectivity.
- $136.6 million to build general purpose lanes in each direction between SR101L and I-10, covering four miles.
- $130.1 million to build general purpose lanes in each direction for the US 60 Grand Avenue to 75th Avenue roadway, covering six miles.
- $100.1 million to make interchange improvements on US 60 at US 60 and 51st Avenue.
- $60.1 million to widen US 60 from Ellsworth Road to Meridian Road.
The following are a selection of projects in Pima County:
- $600 million to reconstruct traffic interchanges at Country Club and Kino Road and expand I-10 to three general purpose lanes in each direction.
- $263.6 million to widen I-10 to three lanes in each direction and build ramps for future connections along a 2.16-mile stretch of I-10 from Alvernon Way to Valencia Road.
- $68.6 million to build ramps at an I-10 interchange on Parve Avenue.
The construction program also includes a section dedicated to the state’s Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP). The budget includes a total investment of $186.1 million over the next five years in airport infrastructure. These funds will primarily go toward various aviation programs to maintain pavement, support the Grand Canyon National Park Airport and other critical projects to maintain effective operations and service.
