Interstate 11 (I-11) was designated by the U.S. Congress in the 2012 Surface Transportation Act for an Interstate Highway in the United States to run from Casa Grande, Arizona northwest to Buckeye, Arizona, north and then west to Las Vegas, Nevada, by way of Kingman, Arizona. The designation is a proposed Congressional law that has not been acted on by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) or the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the agencies normally charged with Interstate Highway numbering and planning. The highway would overlap existing I-515 in Las Vegas, U.S. Route 93 (US 93 from Boulder City, Nevada to Kingman, Arizona, I-40 around Kingman and east to the U.S. 93 junction, and then U.S. 93 south to Wickenburg, Arizona. South of Wickenburg, it is likely to follow a new proposed freeway near the Hassayampa River to reach Buckeye (about 40 miles west of Phoenix) near the junction with Arizona State Route 85. From there, the new bill would route Interstate 11 as, in essence, a new bypass around Phoenix, connecting again to Interstate 10 near Casa Grande, Arizona.

Famous quotes containing the word interstate:
“At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
