The State Transportation Board is expected to formally award six transportation contracts at this week’s meeting. The meeting is tomorrow (Friday) at 9:am in Flagstaff. The projects are the first of 41 statewide projects moving forward with the help of federal stimulus funds. Once awarded, the projects are expected to start construction this summer. They include shoulder widening and safety improvements on State Route 87 between Payson and Pine in Gila County.

The Transportation Board meeting will also include a discussion—but no action—on the state’s five year highway construction program.
