Interstate 11 and the Intermountain West Corridor

Arizona Edition - For years, Arizonans have heard rumors about a new highway connecting Phoenix and Las Vegas and for the last two years Arizona and Nevada have been studying that possibility.  But it turns out linking the two cities on a new interstate is only part of a much larger vision that could someday extend a transportation corridor from Mexico to Canada.  Officials studying the possibility of what is now called Interstate 11 and the Intermountain West Corridor want to hear from the public on what they think of the idea.  To find out more, KAWC’s Lou Gum spoke with Laura Douglas, spokesperson for the Arizona Department of Transportation…(originally aired 02/19/14).

This piece was featured in the February 19th Arizona Edition.  Other pieces featured in the show can be found below in the related content section.

Lou grew up in Tucson and has a long family history in the state of Arizona. He began his public radio career in 1988 at KNAU in Flagstaff as a classical music DJ and has been hooked on public radio since, transitioning to news after trying his hand at several other careers in publishing and commercial broadcasting. Lou has a degree in American Studies from Arizona State University and was KAWC's Morning Edition host for two and half years before becoming News and Operations Director.
