There may be many things this year will be known for, but one thing is a certainty: In Ahwatukee, 2019 will be the Year of the Freeway.

If the Arizona Department of Transportation and South Mountain Freeway designer-builder Connhect202Partners figured accurately, motorists a year from now will be tooling along the eight-lane freeway instead of four-lane Pecos Road.
