With Arizona’s monsoon season quickly
approaching, state transportation planners
intend to begin installing a new long-range
dust-detection system on Interstate 10.
The Arizona Department of Transportation is
set to use a $54 million federal grant to widen
sections of I-10 and implement a project that
would reduce dust-related crashes, the Arizona
Republic reported.
“We are taking an aggressive approach,” said
Tom Herrmann, a spokesman for the state
transportation department, told the newspaper.
“We recognize we can’t necessarily control the
dust, but we can predict it better.”
