I-10 Widening in Tucson Ahead of Schedule
March 30, 2009 | By Kelley Koehler | Filed Under About Tucson
An article in the Arizona Daily Star yesterday reported that the I-10 widening project between Prince and 29th St was 88% complete – and ahead of schedule.
I remember when the project started back in July 2007 it was expected to last 3 years – putting completion in the mid 2010 range. But – they’re ahead of schedule and are anticipating being done by the end of 2009.
In my view, they’ve been pretty aggressive with closing down streets and underpasses in order to keep the work moving along quickly. And as much as a pain as that’s been, I’d rather they shut down what they need to in order to finish this thing instead of dragging it all out.
How nice it’ll be to have the freeway open again, and sooner than expected!
Next disruptive project: the Grant Road widening. Though construction isn’t slated to begin there until 2012…
