    Third lane along southbound uphill stretch designed to ease traffic flow

    logo_azdotVerde Valley AZ (January 14, 2013) – Construction to add the first-ever climbing lane to ease traffic flow along a stretch of Interstate 17 south of Camp Verde is set to start this week, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

    The $11.8 million project will add a third traffic lane in two different areas along southbound I-17 to help move traffic climbing along Copper Canyon Hill near Camp Verde (mileposts 280-287).

    One additional lane will be built between the State Route 260 and General Crook Trail traffic interchanges to help allow larger vehicles gain speed before merging while also providing more room for passenger vehicles traveling past slower traffic. Crews also will build a two-mile long climbing lane to improve traffic flow to the top of Copper Canyon.

    For the next 30 days, drivers can expect shoulder closures in both directions between SR 260 and General Crook Trail. In addition to the shoulder closures, the truck pull-out at the top of Copper Canyon will be closed for the next six months.

    Work hours are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Drivers should expect intermittent lane closures with minimal delays. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of this year.

    The work zone will be clearly marked by temporary barricades and signage. ADOT advises drivers to allow additional time to reach their destinations and to proceed through the work zone with caution, comply with the reduced speed limit, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.

    ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but there is a possibility that unscheduled closures or restrictions may occur. Weather can also affect a project schedule.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
