I found this one early this morning, and wanted to pass it along.  If you are as amazed about Phoenix Freeway History and construction as I am, you will consider this the "motherlode." Enjoy !!

That's a good one too.  Too bad I already did a bunch of the Arizona Freeways already, I guess that I could always add some of this stuff.

Oh noes, we're going metric by 1996. :) :)

What's interesting about the 1993 photo is that it appears 32nd Street used to be the main road leading through the draw before it turned into Northern Avenue. I always figured that was the case. Now, 32nd Street has most of its lanes funneled onto the SR-51  on-ramp, with a slip lane still there to access the neighborhoods before it basically peters out into nothing.

Right - this 1971 Phoenix map also confirms it.
