And now ... 87 is closed.

Post by kingsnake »

I'm not hiking in Phoenix, no matter how many north bound highways are closed ...

Understand, when you eat meat, that something did die. You have an obligation to value it - not just the sirloin but also all those wonderful tough little bits.

(Posted July 10, 2013, at 8:22 p.m.) One lane in each direction has reopened along State Route 87 between the Bush Highway and the junction with State Route 188. A brush fire closed the highway around 5 p.m.

Drivers may still experience delays because one southbound and one northbound lane remain closed along a 35-mile stretch between mileposts 199-235, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. Motorists looking for an alternate route may take US 60 east to SR 188 north to reconnect with SR 87.

Btw, the fire was by that construction site on the east side of the highway, just south of Tonto Basin. It was in the median. When I was by there yesterday, there was already fresh grass grown several inches long in the burn area ...
