 Alert | There is an accident at Riggs and 347, two semis one on its side. Traffic is backed up to Casa Blanca because of it.
Not sure if Casa Grande route is faster at this point.
** South 347 and Riggs is now closed ** | | | |

Alert | Wife just got past it, it is in the middle of the intersection but North bound is still open. Takes an hour to get past Riggs road.
Police are directing traffic through the intersection. | | | |

Alert | Has anyone been thru there recently...or heard from someone who has? I was suppose to be at work downtown (Phx) at 9. Obviously, wreck or no wreck, that is not happening.
At this point, I'm not leaving until the back-up is reasonably cleared.
Does anyone have any updated info?
Thanks. | |

i left red around 7 and got to chandler around 9, use casa grande if you can.
overturned rig, looks like it was hauling gravel. adot just showed up with a loader and dump truck to start cleanup when i passed throuigh. there was also a green mass of metal that may have been a car at some point, there wasn't enough left in tact for me to determine make and model as i passed...
northbound was being directed through the riggs intersection by police, and 347 is ruduced to one lane where you would make the left to get on maricopa road (behind the race track).
and of course everyone is driving erradically after the road reopens since they are now frustrated and late.

Alert | Wife needs an update.
Can she take the Southbound 347 home? or does she go all the way to Casa Blanca or Casa Grande?
She is awaiting my phone call.... | |
Just doing it one day at a time. Change is good and it should be looked upon as an improvment! not a problem.

Alert | Sinbad,
This is what ADOT has on their site about 347:

Looks like S/B is closed....I would take Casa Blanca, I doubt a large number of people coming this way at this time of day.
I need to get downtown and am wondering if N/B traffic has cleared yet on 347 for me to get to I10.

Alert | From what I could tell, the "green mass of metal" was the front cab of one of the tractor-trailers -- the one that was in the intersection, not the one that turned over.
Southbound is still closed, as of 9:25 AM. It is being re-routed onto Maricopa Road (which runs north along Firebird and one of the Gila casinos, back onto the 10). | | | |

Alert | | Even if it is now open there might be traffic for a bit. At least going around she knows that she'll make it home sooner than later. | |
