Sure will be nice when we can avoid that idiotic roundabout north of Wickenburg. Who thought that was a good idea?
US 93 is a whole lot better than it was 30 years ago, but I still have to take to the shoulder about every 10 or 12 trips to avoid a head-on with some idiot trying to pass where there’s no room.
It takes about the same level of effort and money to build a mile of interstate as it does to build a mile of border wall.
Ashford? You mean Ash Fork?
You pretty much nailed it. Logic would dictate 93 merged into I-11 if they wanted to call it that and bypass Kingman altogether. Clearly the powers that be are pushing for Kingman to be included in this though so it will have a minimal impact on loss of food and gas sales taxes. It’s pretty much what keeps Kingman afloat. Take it away and Kingman will have to figure out a way to make itself relevant in some other way such as a hub or industrial business improvements. While it does have historical value it isn’t enough to make it a destination spot IMHO. It could bill itself as the premiere start/stop spot for the beginning/end of the longest stretch of Rt. 66 still surviving.
Yes, sorry, Ash Fork.
Autofill, or whatever it’s called, claims another victim, I’ll bet.
Not enough traffic usually is it till
you get up to Hawthorne and Schurz
the Alien whorehouse...kills me
But if it is slated for Reno, it will end up far west of i-15.
In the east, the i-99 corridor between Williamsburg, PA and Corning, NY is between i-79 and i-81.
Auto-correct is my worst enema.
Well then..maybe the powers that be had better rethink their brilliance of the proposed city tax hadnt they?
Funny thing that. Never had thoughts of that until they found that the I 11 proposal included Kingman.
What a bunch..
About 9 thousand people here in this valley depending on the time of year.
Kingman makes itself relevant because California gasoline is about a $1.20 more. Going east or west on I-40 everyone knows that and there is little worthwhile down the hill in Toprock. I actually like the town and generally stop and eat there when I am coming from 1-40 and dropping south on 93 to Phoenix.
Notice all the big box grocery stores are within the Kingman city limits? Yeah; they want their tax money there too. To heck with anyone who has to travel 15 or 20 miles just to buy some basics. If it wasn't so cheap to live in this area I'd be gone. Pretty much sick of the Kingman attitude in general.
There are a couple of fuel and food stations for cars and trucks at the Havasu turn off too.
First in 30 years? BS!
I-55 opened less than 30 years ago.
Thanks Tol,
I find the cost interesting - at $21M per mile. I realize it’s empty desert there, but even so, it’s costing California $100M per mile for the first segment of their ‘bullet train’ and most of that runs through now-draughted out farmland.
Could build a LOT of MILES of freeway for $21M per mile...but instead we build trains that no one uses.
I guess the United States had its day...
