## The words an agent gets

Title: Black Canyon Highway. First 1,800 of 4,506 characters:

```
Black Canyon Highway Black Canyon Highway This highway predates the Interstate system, but just barely. Phoenix and the state started upgrading AZ 69 to a controlled access highway through Phoenix. In the early 50s, AZ 69 was rerouted from 27th Ave. from Grand Ave. to Dunlap Ave. (then Olive Ave.) along a 25th Ave. alignment. The frontage roads were built first, with room between them for the eventual freeway. The first part of construction started in 1954, with the construction of the Grand Ave. (US 60/70/89 AZ 93)/Thomas Rd. interchange (diagram, 423K). It appears that the interchange was done by early 1957. At that point, construction was well underway on the rest, with the McDowell Rd. to Dunlap Ave. leg opening November 1960. The original concept for the route through Phoenix was to extend the AZ 69 freeway south then east to meet AZ 87 in Mesa. During construction of the east-west leg, called the Maricopa Freeway, TEMP AZ 69 was designated along 19th Ave. to Baseline Road and then along Baseline to AZ 87. Once the Interstate plan was adopted, the east-west leg became part of I-10. Later, I-10 would be moved north, but that's another story. The early construction used box viaducts like these, with the steep slopes covered by concrete. The pedestrian cage was a later addition. The Southern Pacific rail crossing still has the original railing. This early design had its faults. The southbound Thomas Road bridge had a clearance of only 13´ 6", making tall trucks a real problem. As early as 1963 two beams had to be replaced because they had been bashed by a truck. A height sensor and electric message board was installed south of Indian School Rd. to warn tall trucks to exit. Another problem was the lack of merging space. Although there was a southbound on-ramp bet
