Arizona's road infrastructure ranks in the top half of U.S. states, according to a recent study.
Seattle-based QuoteWizard, LendingTree's online insurance marketplace, ranked the condition and investment in roads for all 50 states, based on an analysis of Federal Highway Administration data.
Rankings are a composite score based on percentage of roads in poor condition, annual cost per driver due to roads that need repair and the percentage of structurally deficient bridges.
The Valley's infrastructure plays a key economic development role by providing links to California and throughout the Southwest.
