Amazing how far the freeway system in Arizona has come since 98 when I moved there. The 51 ran from the 10 to Shea. The 202 from the 51/10 interchange aka mini stack to the 101. The 101 on the east side ran from 202 to Thomas. The 101 on the west side ran from the 10 to Northern. The 303 was just a 1 lane highway from 10 to 60 with nothing on it. The 60 on the east valley was 3 lanes each direction from 10 to east Mesa and was a parking lot most of the day everyday. Not to mention all of the freeways that have been widened since then. I have been a lot of places and hands down, ADOT does a phenomenal job in an attempt to keep up with the massive growth of the valley.

Missing your exit? Have a pickup? No problem; just do the five-lane dive! Another day on the Cactus Connector.
Nice drive! 😊
And we're off for a new trip!
Thanks again for filming this. Also one of drives I was looking forward to.
Very nice!!
