Governor Brewer Calls on I-11 to be built in her State-of-the-State Address
Today Governor Brewer gave her State-of-the-State Address encouraging the completion of Interstate Eleven which is supported by AZAGC. Below are her verbatim comments about the project.
“In October of last year, I had the honor of helping dedicate the O’Callaghan-Tillman Memorial Bridge. It’s an extraordinary structure –the product of the late Arizona Congressman Bob Stump’s relentless pushing and prodding. The bridge restores the freedom to move commercial traffic across Hoover Dam.
With the completion of the bridge, now is the time to add another monument to federal-state cooperation – the future interstate highway linking Phoenix and Las Vegas – the “I-11.”
It will connect two of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the country. By the way — these are the two largest cities in the nation not connected by the inter-state highway system. This project will promote commerce, tourism and trade across the western United States.
We must not wait.”
