The State Transportation Board has awarded the third set of contracts for federally funded projects to improve Arizona’s highways. This includes a $4.5 million contract for pavement preservation on Highway 60 from the Miami City Limits to McMillan Wash.
The Arizona Department of Transportation says most of the nine projects were well under estimates, producing a cost savings of $2.7 million. The lower-than-expected bids are attributed to the downturn in the economy prompting higher competition for projects.
There are now 25 stimulus-funded projects under contract statewide. Five have already begun construction.
