Hundreds of residents recently celebrated the opening of the new Tangerine Farms road linking the Gladden Farms housing development with Interstate 10.
On June 25 the nearly 4-mile stretch of brand new road was opened to much fanfare and anticipation of community residents. The new road is four lanes with a center median and sidewalks on both sides and will make commuting much easier for Marana residents, linking both the Gladden Farms and Rancho Marana communities to the freeway.
It will also serve as a major thoroughfare to the planned Fry's Marketplace on the corner of Lon Adams and Tangerine Farms road as well as the Shops at Tangerine, a 281 acre megaplex of retail, dining, entertainment and auto mall.
Signal lights have not been installed yet but are planned for the very near future (I've already seen two minor fender benders since the road opened so I hoped they hurry!). They are also planning to redo the freeway ramps which should make everyone happy; currently the off-ramp is only one lane so it tends to take a while during rush hour.
