Future Road Materials Under Study

Arizona Department of Transportation engineers are working to develop more durable road materials that can withstand the state’s diverse climate across 75,000 miles of roadway.

Video footage shows an engineering team testing asphalt blends by simulating the impact of semi-trucks driving over asphalt samples. The testing uses a wheel that passes over an asphalt sample thousands of times, giving faster results than road testing.

The type of asphalt used will likely vary across Arizona’s warm and cool regions.

“Our technicians know the importance of the testing because at the end of the day, we are also the stakeholders,” transportation engineer Jesus Sandoval-Gil said.

Wrong-Way DUI Crash Kills Five

Five people were killed in a wrong-way crash early Saturday on US 93 in Mohave County, roughly 20 miles from the Nevada border. The victims were not immediately identified.

Officers responding to a call at 2:15 a.m. found two vehicles on fire. Investigators said the driver of a Jeep was traveling northbound in a southbound lane when the vehicle hit a Hyundai head-on.

Two men were in the Jeep, while a man, woman, and child were in the Hyundai. All five died.

Driving under the influence is suspected of being a factor in the crash, investigators said.

Immigration Protesters Rally

Demonstrators gathered outside the Arizona Capitol on Sunday night to protest immigration enforcement.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation organized the event, with reports saying the group remained “peaceful” as Phoenix police maintained a presence and shut down streets during a march.

In late May, protesters gathered at a federal courthouse in downtown Phoenix after federal agents were seen detaining suspected illegal immigrants who showed up for immigration hearings.
