Bruce wins the prize, the completion date I saw in the paper is something like 2011. They however are doing the work in sections, right now working from where 101 & I10 merge, that is also where the towns of Tolleson & Avondale meet to just west of Estrella Parkway in Goodyear. The second phase will proceed to the exit for Verrado Way in Buckeye, I would say this is the phase that will be completed in 2011. I doubt the first phase will be completed by Feb. 2009, I will post new information before that race.

I had to travel into the Dysart and Litchfield Rd. areas today, the Litchfield road exit for eastbound traffic has been closed for the past three days forcing traffic to Dysart Rd.. I tried to evaluate in the day late why all the off ramps would have one lane restricted. There is alot of work taking place under the bridge over passes and they are shifting areas every few days and have just blocked the lane closest to the roadway through out the whole construction site from what I can tell.

We can all hope and pray that the DOT has planned a scheduled vaction for this road construction during race week and they open up all off ramps. I will keep watching the newspaper for any updates and post them as soon as I can.

We had a fatal accident on the east side of the valley today that left traffic on I10 & the 202 at a stand still for miles, and miles and miles, traffic was effected for hours. These post are not meant to scare any one, just make you aware what a nightmare Phoenix traffic can be on a daily basis.
