Make that Clacks Canyon. Geez.
Point is, they are intending to swing that to Kingman and add more miles to the system. Building a road straight off from 93 at the 93 and I 40 to Dolan Springs wouldnt be that hard. That road could go through Hackberry and up and connect at/near Dolan Springs.
Dont think the trucks stops/businesses at Kingman havent had anything to say about it?
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.
