Title: AZ 95 Truck
Post by: Max Rockatansky on May 21, 2023, 11:51:10 PM
Arizona State Route 95 Truck is a 0.85-mile-long spur of Arizona State Route 95 located in Parker.  Arizona State Route 95 Truck follows California Avenue north of Riverside Drive to California State Route 62 at the Colorado River Bridge.  What is now Arizona State Route 95 Truck was originally a ferry crossing of the Colorado River and later part of Arizona State Route 72.  The Colorado River in Parker was bridged by a pontoon highway crossing during late 1935 with a permanent span being completed during 1937.  Arizona State Route 95 Truck was created in 1962 when the mainline highway was extended north of Parker.  The current Colorado River Bridge carrying Arizona State Route 95 Truck and California State Route 62 opened during 2014.  Featured as the blog cover is the 1937 Colorado River Bridge when it was part of Arizona State Route 72.
