U.S. Sen. Flake (R-Ariz.) today made the following statement on the approval of two provisions that he authored with U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) to extend the designation of I-11 and to designate the Sonoran Corridor as a future interstate. I am pleased Congress approved the extension of the Interstate 11 designation and designated the Sonoran Corridor as a future interstate. These roads have the potential to serve as a boon to trade and economic growth both in Arizona and nationwide, said Flake. Background: The approved provision mirrors two pieces of legislation previously introduced by Flake and McCain. S. 1649, the Sonoran Corridor Interstate Development Act, would designate the Sonoran Corridor as a future interstate and connect I-19 to I-10. S. 842, the Intermountain West Corridor Development Act of 2015, would expand the designation of the future I-11 interstate south from Phoenix to Arizonas southern border and north to Las Vegas, Nev. and I-80. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
