Five-Year Construction Program update expands pavement-repair projects

ADOT’s 2024-2028 Five-Year Transportation Facilities Construction Program, approved recently by the State Transportation Board, adds to projects repairing damaged surface pavement after the record-setting winter. 

This program has $40 million in repair projects for the fiscal year beginning July 1, and these are scheduled to begin late this summer. They are on top of $50.5 million in pavement repair projects underway or starting soon. Most of them are at higher elevations, where this winter’s snow, rain and freeze-thaw cycles created ideal conditions for potholes and other pavement damage.

You’ll find information on all of these projects at azdot.gov/PavingRepairs, our website devoted to Statewide Critical Pavement Repair Projects. It includes a schedule of when the repairs will be made and a map showing current projects in green and fiscal year 2024 projects in yellow. 

In the coming months, the website will detail plans for the $54 million Governor Hobbs and the state Legislature have allocated for additional pavement improvement projects in rural Arizona.

The pavement repair work consists of removing and replacing damaged surface pavement on sections of I‐40, I‐17, SR 260, SR 87, US 93, US 60 and I‐10. The work will be done in spot locations along these highways in stretches of several miles.

If you’re driving in areas with these projects, expect a mix of daytime and nighttime activity and lane restrictions that could lead to delays. While we’re creating a smoother ride, please slow down in work zones and allow plenty of space for workers
