City Of Phoenix: Phoenix Celebrates 500 Miles Of Paving City Roads Since Implementing Accelerated Program

Press release from the City of Phoenix:

August 4, 2021 5:00 PM

The city of Phoenix Street Transportation Department reached a milestone in its Accelerate Pavement Maintenance Program (APMP) – 500 miles of mill and overlay treatment have been completed. Mill and overlay is the city’s most intensive treatment to rehabilitate a road needing repairs. 

Phoenix has a street network spanning more than 4,800 miles. Between January 2019 and June 2023 the Street Transportation Department will significantly improve, at an unprecedented pace, the condition of the city’s major streets as a part of the voter-approved Transportation 2050 (T2050) plan. Just two years into the APMP, the city is seeing significant results. 

Counting all street preservation treatments, including mill and overlay, more than 1,400 miles of streets have received treatment – that is 29 percent, or more than a quarter of all city streets.
