When they were constructed I lived in North Scottsdale (still live in North Scottsdale) and worked at Intel in Chandler. I drove past them every day, cursing their existence, and the inability for me to drive the freeway that didn't exist. I remember those bridges all too well.

I remember living in McCormick Ranch in the mid 1990's; there were a couple/few big, overpass bridges out in the reservation, clearly visable from Pima Rd. But they were completely isolated. ADOT was the butt of a lot of jokes about them, but this was clearly before we could all blog our digital pictures! Turns out Loop 101 was for real (eventually...) Jon’s spot-on.

We have a saying here "You can't get there from here". It refers to the fact that there are only a few roads that cross the Rio Grande and if any one of those roads are closed you have to travel an extra 6 or so miles north or south to the next road that crosses over. There is ALWAYS construction here and on a short 30 minute commute, travelers will pass at least 2-3 sites that are down to one lane or road closed. Jenifer Steve,

Yet another infuriating fact of life in Phoenix, er...Scottsdale...em...uh... I can remember the days long ago when the Loop 101 looked as though one day it would exists as evidenced by overpasses dotting the horizon on the Indian reservation. Looks like we're at it again. Argh. Yet another infuriating fact of life in Phoenix, er…Scottsdale…em…uh…
