Virtual meeting coming up for Arizona transportation 5-year program
Posted
The Arizona Department of Transportation is hosting a virtual public hearing and board meeting to continue collecting public comments for the 2021-2025 Tentative Five-Year Transportation Facilities Construction Program.
The public hearing and board meeting at 9 a.m. Friday, April 17 will be accessible via telephone and web conference. The agenda and directions for participating are available now on the State Transportation Board website.
Anyone who wishes to make a comment before the board must fill out and submit a comment request form before 8 a.m. Friday, April 17. That form is also available on the board’s website. There will not be an opportunity for members of the public to attend or comment in person.
The 2021-2025 Tentative Five-Year Transportation Facilities Construction Program is the proposed annual update to ADOT’s lineup of all statewide projects. The program allocates funding for preservation, modernization and expansion projects.
The public comment period for the 2021-2025 Tentative Five-Year Program began March 20 and ends 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 2. The State Transportation Board will make its final decision in June about what will be in the updated Five-Year Program.
The 2021-2025 Tentative Five-Year Program proposes an average of about $310 million per year for preservation of bridges and roadways throughout the state highway system. This moves ADOT even closer to its goal of allocating $320 million per year for system preservation. Preservation projects include repaving highways, filling potholes, extending the life cycle of existing pavement and repairing or reconstructing bridges. About 67% of all funding allocated to Greater Arizona will be directed to preservation projects from fiscal 2021 to fiscal 2025, according to a release.
