PING!
We have a relative primative freeway system in Phoenix, but we do now have alternative freeways and main roads transiting from east to west and north to south.
I10 and parts of I202 are really in tough shape.
Sure glad I seldom use them.
Its going to be bad!
Because someone foolishly decided to use the “Environmentally friendly” rubberized asphalt. It DOES NOT work in the hot southwest. It gets too soft in the heat and can’t handle the load. I remember when they tried this through the desert in Ca 25 years ago and it didn’t work then. It was a huge failure...
Are you an inmate of Ahwatukee as well?
I guess we can't expect gerbilists to understand the difference between east and west.
The billboards for the “Broadway curve” have already begun. All billboards in Phoenix are assigned to the state, aggressive law firms, and cannabis dispensaries. I am hopeful these new signs will displace the “Mask Up Arizona” signs defacing the valley for the last year.
I have Sirius/XM radio so if I get stuck in traffic, at least I have entertainment.
four years of disruptions... If its anything like the Tucson bypass on Hiway 10 the agony will last ten years.
You ain’t seen nuthin’ ‘til you’ve seen Tucson and surrounding Pima County roads. The Rats rule that roost and it’s very obvious that roads are not a priority.

In the very early 1970’s I attended a meeting in Phoenix about the future of transportation and specifically freeways in Phoenix. Most of the city leaders were there. There was a group of folks who said, “If you don’t build freeways the traffic will go somewhere else and not come to Phoenix.” I remember looking to the fellow next to me and saying, “Where do these people come from?”
