I-10, a major bottleneck for commuters and commerce between Phoenix and Tucson could soon be alleviated with a significant $400 million investment from the State of Arizona.
Governor Doug Ducey’s fiscal year 2023 budget proposes funding to accelerate the expansion of a congested 25 mile stretch of Interstate 10 between Phoenix and Tucson from two lanes to three lanes.
“Governor Ducey’s acceleration of the I-10 widening project is a crucial step for expanding on recent gains that are making Arizona an economic leader in the west and the whole country,” said John Halikowski, director of the Arizona Department of Transportation. “Widening this key commerce corridor boosts capacity, enhances safety and improves access for local drivers. It’s an investment in the quality of life for all Arizonans.”
