PING!

Proposed New Arizona's Interstate 11 Generates Support, Opposition (4/29)

[Red Badger]

...a proposed new interstate from the border to north of Phoenix

So the illegals can get thru faster?.................

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Planned route for Interstate 11 puts some Buckeye homes in jeopardy (5/1)

[Paladin2]

It’ll be the “Let Mexico Invade Nevada” Highway.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

The new interstate will have express lanes, the tolls for which will be payed for by coyotes and traffickers moving the illegals up the highway.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Because illegals need a straighter shot into Arizona from the border?

[DoughtyOne]

Another highway from Mexico into our heartland?

Yeah, what a swell idea. /s

[C210N]

New east-west interstates - go for it, by all means.

North-south, forgedaboutit.

[Red Badger]

Will they have Car Pool lanes for twelve or more in a car?.....................

[Ben Hecks]

O.K. with me as long it’s one way going south....

[Mr Rogers]

I'd argue for widening I-10 and improving the "Buckeye Bypass".

[pfflier]

Every interstate that originates on the mexican border has resulted in colonization along it’s route. Check out I-5 and I-35 as examples.

[Zathras]

Actually it has some logic.
The only North-South interstates between CA and NE is I5 and I25.

I5 goes thru every major city on the West Coast except San Francisco.
I25 goes right thru Denver.
That’s it.
Shipping anything north or south is real problem.

Yeah this idea really sucks. it will destroy much of the Sonoran Desert around the Tucson area, including national monuments and preserves. And, as noted by others, it will become the “Migrant Express.”

Just turn AZ 95 into the new Interstate. It already runs from San Luis AZ to Nevada. All you have to do is widen it. The only Interstate serving SW AZ is I-8. A North/South interstate through Yuma would help the economies of Yuma County, La Paz County, and Mojave County immensely. We could get rid of the excuse our politicians constantly use to explain why they don’t attempt to attract any business that isn’t a restaurant or retail.

Interestingly when this was presented on KOLD last night it was talked about “as faster way to Vegas”...:^)

I say just widen I-10.

[GreenLanternCorps]

I-11 is not needed South of I-8.

[rxh4n1]

Agree. Most of the route is parallel to I-10.
