State Transportation Board...

SEV freeway projects on fast track, from the Arizona Republic, reports that in addition to the West Valley projects that received fast-track status from the State Transportation Board, two SEV projects were also accelerated. The two SEV projects are:

*
adding an HOV lane in each direction to five miles of the Loop 101 between Baseline Road and the Santan Freeway section of Loop 202 in Chandler.
*
Purchasing right-of-way for Williams Gateway Freeway, a future five-mile corridor that swings off Loop 202 and out east to Meridian Road. This project was moved up to next year versus 2014. However, construction of the corridor is scheduled for several years away.

The Maricopa Association of Governments identified and approved the projects needing state appropriations, also known as the Statewide Transportation Acceleration Needs, or STAN, fund.
