As crews race to toward a possible opening on Dec, 20, the South Mountain Freeway continues to produce new problems for Ahwatukee homeowners.
Even as design-builder Connect202Partners and the Arizona Department of Transportation bowed to pressure from two homeowners associations and the entire Legislative District 18 delegation and agreed to address two problems, residents in one of Ahwatukee’s newest communities are fuming the highway agencies’ westernmost termination point for the sound wall on the Pecos segment.
Instead of extending the wall around a bend as the freeway extends through South Mountain, it now ends at a point several hundred yards east of it.
