History
The history of the Hohokam Expressway dates back to the 1960s, when the first highway plan for Phoenix was developed, which included a north-south route east of Downtown Phoenix and the airport. This also included part of the Piestewa Freeway (SR-51). The road was originally constructed as a parkway with traffic lights, but it no longer suited the rapid growth of the suburb of Tempe, and later Mesa, Chandler and Gilbert. A grade separated intersection at University Drive was built in 1985, but it is only sized for 2×2 lanes. Ultimately, the highway was built in 1991 and 1992.
