Interstate 10 Arizona

[Alex]

Kevin passed along this article this morning and commented

The Marsh Station section of I-10 was the first section of highway in Arizona built using Interstate Highway funds, as US 80, in 1955-56. Those who have driven it know of the narrow geometrics of this section of freeway and lack of median.

2 bridges demolished east of Tucson

The Arizona Department of Transportation has knocked down two bridges on Interstate 10 east of Tucson.

The two bridges were demolished in about 10 hours beginning Friday. I-10 was reopened by Saturday morning.

The Marsh Station Interchange, which was completed in December, replaces one of the demolished bridges. By the end of the year, a new bridge is expected to replace the other demolished structure, the Mescal/J-Six Bridge, which recently was the site of a fire when two semitrucks collided.
