Quote from: PColumbus73 on October 25, 2024, 08:38:29 AMThe best we can hope for is the completion of the original Phoenix to Las Vegas route.

Assuming it was completed between Phoenix and Reno, would there be much of the time saving of using a theoretical I-11 from, say, Tuscan to Portland?

I can see long haul traffic using it to connect from Tuscan to connect to I-40, then to CA 58 and I-5, bypassing Los Angeles. If they were to take it up to Reno, they would have to stair-step through the Donner Pass.

Last I heard there wasn't a single place to rent in all of Tuscany.

It is, of course, spelled Tucson. And no, I am sure the city and its people are nothing like they're portrayed in this Family Guy clip (and I love Family Guy): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clqXS4fEjBo.

Elaine and the Maestro certainly insisted there wasn't anything but Jerry did find a place through Mr. Giggio.

I've heard a rumor that conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson is going to purchase the naming rights to the City of Tucson, and change its name to Buckley (after his son).  :bigass:

Is this what passes for conservative humor these days?

Is he also going to move the whole city to somewhere in Vegas or points north?

Probably more likely Russia.

That would surely shorten future I-11.

What if we dropped it directly on top of Goldfield? Then Esmeralda County would have a reason to exist.

I-11 freeway entrance packages have been installed at Rainbow Boulevard (NV-595). Advance and overhead signage is still just US-95. NDOT's phasing of I-11 signage installations continues to mystify.

I saw some I-11 shields on southbound MLK Boulevard yesterday afternoon.

NDOT did a social media blast last week saying that I-11 signing should be complete by the end of the year. So it will be soon. No word yet on any of the other (likely) upcoming jurisdiction transfers/ number changes in Clark County.
