If you drive before the sun comes up, you may have noticed a few spots on our Valley freeways are a little darker than they should be... 🔦
A Valley commuter called ABC15 after he said he noticed the lights were out along multiple stretches of freeway.
"I go to work early in the morning before the sun comes up," Edwin Wolf explained."And I noticed the lights were out on Highway 17 northbound in the morning for quite a few miles.""Well, they go to all that effort to put in," Wolf said."It should function and work." He said the lights were out on I-17 between 16th Street and 7th Avenue, and I-10 eastbound between the US 60 and 48th Street.Our Operation Safe Roads team found the lights were on along I-10, but we found they were out on I-17 from 7th Street to 7th Avenue and between 19th Avenue to Van Buren Street."Actually, I called ADOT three times and didn't get a return call," Wolf said."So was frustrated and upset as a taxpayer for no response.
As for Loop 202, ADOT said about half of the median lamps have burned-out fixtures. There is a project in the design phase to upgrade the LED fixtures during the next year. So, they are aware but it is still a work in progress.Do you have a road issue or a question for the Operation Safe Roads team? Call 833-AZ-ROADS or email [email protected].
