Listen Later

Highways and roadways impact Valley drivers on a daily basis. Valley 101 listeners often submit questions to the Arizona Republic's podcast team to dive into these topics.

In this week's episode of Valley 101, a podcast from The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, we’re answering three of those questions. 

We'll take a brief dive into the history of Arizona toll roads, a look at the future of Interstate Highway 11 and then how Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway has impacted the Valley.

In this episode you'll hear from: 

  • Laura Douglas, a communications project manager with the Arizona Department of Transportation
  • Philip Vandermeer, an emeritus professor of history from Arizona State University
  • Eric Anderson, the executive director for the Maricopa Association of Governments.
