RTA Starts Big 20-Year Road Repair Plan | Tucson News

Tucson’s RTA just launched a $2.6 billion, 20-year transportation overhaul funded by a half-cent sales tax — and it’s all about fixing what’s broken, not just building more. Their first big move? A full reconstruction of Irvington Road, the RTA’s very first pavement rehab project — a long-overdue fix for a road one official says hasn’t seen proper paving since he was born. With $177 million earmarked for crumbling arterial streets, this isn’t just about roads — it’s about better transit, bike lanes, sidewalks, and daily life for everyone. They’re tackling unfinished projects from past plans too, aiming to make major progress in five years. Buckle up — road work ahead, but the payoff? A smarter, smoother city for decades to come.
