<strong>By John Dougherty / <em>ADOT Communications</em></strong><br><br>You may have heard about the <a href="https://www.azdot.gov/projects/central-district-projects/loop-202-(south-mountain-freeway)">22 miles of freeway</a> we’re adding to the Phoenix highway system. To do that, it requires a lot of dirt – 10 million cubic yards of dirt, in fact. The Art of Transportation features a photo of nighttime work happening south of Loop 202 Santan Freeway near Kyrene Road. The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SouthMountainFreeway/videos/2099234130299428/">Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway Facebook page</a> shows video of the work and provides details on the dirt hauls.
