At Marana’s recent State of the Town luncheon, Mayor Ed Honea was joined by town staff to highlight all the projects they’ve accomplished this past year—and there were many.
Hosted at The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain resort last Thursday, Honea broke the ice with the biggest accomplishment of all: the near-completion of a new interchange at Interstate 10 and Ina Road. The room of 470 guests erupted in applause.
Over two years in the making, the Arizona Department of Transportation’s Ina Road Interchange project also eliminated at-grade railroad crossings, reconstructed frontage roads and installed fiber optic communication cables.
