ICYMI: ABC15 finally got to speak with ADOT officials earlier this weekend after months of pressing the agencies on dangerous roads across the state.
The department held an executive meeting Tuesday to discuss how to move forward with pavement repairs on highways that were damaged by winter weather. They also made themselves available for an interview to ABC15. This comes months after our Operation Safe Roads team started putting pressure on them and after reaching out to the governor's office."I had to swerve off the road and thank god we're alive," Anna Margaret told ABC15 about her drive on I-40 near Seligman.
But those repairs are likely to only last about five years or so. Nonetheless, that's what ADOT is moving forward with for now.They are reprioritizing funds to make that possible and have a meeting with the Arizona State Transportation Board to discuss the plan this month. "So, we're asking them [drivers] to take that risk until we can get some more of that work done?" ABC15 asked Byres. "It's a risk to get on the road," Byres said.
"I try and avoid those things, because I do think I’m just going to flip over and die if I hit one," said Rep. Nguyen. Representative Myron Tsosie told ABC15 that in Navajo County the potholes impact the trucks that are transporting food and water to rural, indigenous communities. "It's a huge issue across the state," said Governor Hobbs, at a news conference Wednesday."And we are working with [ADOT] to ensure there is funding to address it."
