The project requires widening each road as it approaches the intersection. In addition, temporary construction easements beyond the expanded rights-of-way will be needed in some areas for relocating fences, utilities, and irrigation and drainage ditches. MCDOT...

The Historic Crismon Farmstead, Mesa (Lehi), Maricopa County, Arizona (2000)
Recordation of the historic Crismon Farmstead was prompted by the impending extension of the Red Mountain Freeway. Because part of the old farm has been determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, the freeway will not physically encroach on the house and associated outbuildings. Nevertheless, the Arizona Department of Transportation sponsored the preparation of this State Historic Register documentation of the property so that its place in the history of the...
