Plans on hold for Arizona's Interstate 11!
On hold due to a deeply flawed environmental analysis
Great news! on January 22, 2025, the Center for Biological Diversity, a national, nonprofit conservation organization with more than 1.7 million members, announced that in response to a lawsuit from conservation groups, the Federal Highway Administration and Arizona Department of Transportation have agreed to halt planning activities and reevaluate their approval of proposed Interstate 11.
As a result, a court stayed the case until the reevaluation is completed. Under the agreement, the Federal Highway Administration will review the interstate’s compliance with environmental laws and hold a 60-day public comment period.
“The interstate’s approval was based on a deeply flawed environmental analysis that the Federal Highway Administration now has a chance to fix,” said Russ McSpadden, Southwest conservation advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity, “the interstate would devastate treasured places like Sonoran Desert National Monuments (and) threaten endangered wildlife like cactus ferruginous pygmy owls."

Bravo to the various organizations who worked together to accomplish this important step toward ending this disastrous project.
