Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs and state leaders announced Monday that Arizona had secured a $95 million INFRA grant from the US Department of Transportation for major improvements to widen Interstate 10.
“The I-10 serves as a major connector for the entire state, and I am thrilled to announce that we have secured the funds necessary to ensure it remains a gateway for generations to come,” Hobbs said. “By securing this investment, we are not only improving our state’s infrastructure, we are propelling Arizona’s economy forward, ensuring a prosperous future for all. I want to thank (Gila River Indian Community) Governor Lewis for his tireless advocacy and our federal partners for helping make this possible.”
The purpose of the grant is to improve safety conditions on the highway, especially on the 26-mile stretch of the I-10 located within the Gila River Indian Community that sits between Chandler and Casa Grande. Some parts of the high-traffic stretch see up to 120,000 vehicles daily. This 26-mile segment of the I-10 is the last remaining unimproved section of the highway, with only two eastbound lanes and two westbound lanes.
