Starting this week, billboards, social media and television and print media will carry messages urging thousands of motorists, especially in Mesa and the rest of the East Valley, to prepare for three to four years of disruptions in their driving routines.
Itâs not exactly Armageddon that the Arizona Department of Transportation will be heralding.
But it wonât be a walk in the park, especially for car and truck traffic on I-10.Â
And even if you donât use I-10, you can expect significant increases in traffic along all the freeways in the East Valley and even major arterials as motorists try to evade the inevitable tie-ups that will be caused by the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project.

MESA, Ariz. - Mesa Police officials say another arrest has been made in connection with an October 2020 shooting that left a one-year-old dead.
The shooting happened on Oct. 16, at a strip mall in the area of Dobson and Guadalupe. At the time of the shooting, people had been gathered around some food trucks in the area for dinner.
At the time, witnesses say a white or silver Kia Soul or a similar box-type SUV was driving down Guadalupe Road when it stopped in the middle of the street and started shooting towards the food trucks. Police say one of the food vendors started to shoot back at the suspect s car, which fled westbound on Guadalupe.
For the past 17 years, hundreds of people from across the Valley have gathered on a day in January at Tempe Town Lake to walk together for diversity at the annual Regional Unity Walk.
Residents of the participating communities would gather to walk along the shores of Tempe Town Lake wearing different colored T-shirts representing their respective cities. The event would usually include a festival with live performances from music or dance groups.
The COVID-19 pandemic makes such large gatherings unworkable this year, however, so the event has evolved into the Regional Unity ArtWalk: A Visual Journey of Diversity, Culture and Equity.
