Ariz. Details Middle-Mile Plan

Arizona will build middle-mile infrastructure along two interstate highways under a plan, the Arizona Commerce Authority said Thursday. By early 2023, the state will string fiber along 141 miles of I-17 between Flagstaff and Phoenix and 60 miles of I-19 between Tucson and Nogales, the authority said. “This next phase of broadband expansion will strengthen Arizonans' connection to educational programs, medical services, public safety and jobs,” said Gov. Doug Ducey (R).
