Kelly, Sinema Announce $26 Million Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Investment Coming to the Town of Wickenburg to Expand U.S. 93

Bipartisan infrastructure law led by Sinema and shaped by Kelly provides $26 million to bring 4.5 miles of U.S. 93 in Wickenburg up to interstate-grade roadway, preparing for the future Interstate 11

$26,000,000 will be invested in making key infrastructure improvements along U.S. 93 in Wickenburg from the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs law led by Senator Kyrsten Sinema and shaped by Senator Mark Kelly. U.S. 93 is the primary route which connects Phoenix with Las Vegas and is a part of the future Interstate 11 corridor. 

The town of Wickenburg was awarded $26 million to convert approximately 4.5 miles of U.S. 93 from a two-lane rural highway to a four-lane divided highway to enhance safety on one of the most dangerous roadways in Arizona, while preparing for the route to turn into Interstate 11. 

“This investment will make a real difference for Wickenburg and take us one step closer to connecting Phoenix and Las Vegas via Interstate 11,” said Kelly. “These improvements will help reduce traffic, create jobs, and boost economic opportunities for years to come. Thanks to the bipartisan infrastructure law, we’re taking meaningful steps to ensure Arizona’s infrastructure meets the demands of our growing communities.” 

“I’m proud to secure $26 million from my bipartisan infrastructure law to make much-needed infrastructure improvements along U.S. 93 in Wickenburg – boosting economic opportunities and keeping Arizona families safe while traveling,” said Sinema, co-author and lead negotiator of the bipartisan infrastructure law. 

The investment was awarded through the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) Grant Program, created and funded by Kelly and Sinema’s bipartisan infrastructure law, which supports projects that improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the movement of freight and people in and across rural and urban areas. 

The project also includes interstate-grade eight-foot shoulders and broadband conduit, a new two-lane frontage road, a new southbound two-lane bridge over BNSF tracks with a pedestrian walkway, and a roundabout at U.S. 93 and the SR 89 intersection. 

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was supported by groups including The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable, The National Association of Manufacturers, The AFL-CIO, The National Retail Federation, The Bipartisan Policy Center, North America’s Building Trades Unions, the Outdoor Industry Association, The American Hotel and Lodging Association, The National Education Association, as well as hundreds of mayors across all 50 states.
