If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes regarding appropriations for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to expedite the expansion of Interstate 10 (I-10). Specifically, it would increase the appropriations from the state general fund for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027, changing the amounts from $30 million and $78 million to $40 million and $93 million, respectively. This adjustment aims to accelerate the timeline for the construction of additional vehicle lanes on I-10 between State Route 85 and Citrus Road.

Additionally, the bill introduces a requirement for ADOT to utilize the cost-plus-time (A+B) bidding method for construction contracts. This method is designed to expedite the construction process and ensure timely project completion. The bill also includes conforming changes to existing statutes to reflect these updates and will take effect on the general effective date.
