Well, the road closure on 52nd Street still continues to be a pain in the (you know where). McDowell to Thomas Roads are still torn up to pieces and there is no southbound access. It's loud, and ugly, and appears to have no end. Well, at least it did until recently.

I've finally seen a light at the end of the tunnel this week. They've started putting in curbs from McDowell to Thomas. They've hammered in measurements for grading and should bring in the blades for grading once they've completed the curbing. This means we're getting close, folks. The Phoenix.gov website is showing early Fall to be completed with the project (http://www.phxskyharbor.com/STRCLOSE/strclose.html).

I can't wait for this project to be completed. 52nd Street will look and feel so much better once this is finished. I will give more info as I get it.
