I'm not 100% on the route as it's still on the drawing board. But, my understanding is there will be some portions of 93 improved for conversion to I-11 and there will be some completely new portions in other areas West of 93.
My biggest complaint is not I-11 in itself as I actually do think a Phoenix/Vegas connection is needed, but the way it's routed South of Wickenberg going way out West of the White Tanks. What a waste as this is just a Phoenix bypass at best, but will still promote massive sprawl. If it's going to pretty much bypass Phoenix, then I would rather see something like this as an alternative which would continue down 85 to the border and utilize currently existing routes and open up a new Interstate Port of Entry for AZ.
