Truck Route Change Urged for Tucson Corridor
A Tucson truck route proposal to divert traffic from downtown was urged again by Walter Ellis at a Chamber of Commerce roads committee meeting. The plan would run west to Irvington Road and east to Benson Highway, avoiding condemned properties but possibly not saving as many miles as claimed. County engineer George Grove cautioned benefits may be limited and noted about 1.5 miles of highway added. If the route is agreed, state contracts could be let by April 1, 1947.
