Road Projects Under Construction

New roads. faster roads.. more roads.. better roads! The load of traffic over the Arizona highway system increases each year, and as bigger and faster automobiles are built, the highways of Arizona will be prepared to give them safe and swift and sure conduct, whether their journey be that of business or pleasure. Wise highway management and a healthy road program mean that the roads of Arizona will never fail in their mission.
