- $110 million to widen State Route 260 east of Payson (Lion Springs segment)
- $68 million to widen US 93 north of Wickenburg (Vista Royale segment)
- $50 million to widen US 93 at Big Jim Wash between Wickenburg and Wikieup
- $66 million to replace the Colorado Bridge on Interstate 10 at the California border, a joint project with CalTrans
- $240 million to widen Interstate 17 from Sunset Point to State Route 69
- $62 million for the new land port of entry road and facility in Douglas
