EB I-40 From Kingman AZ to Ash Fork AZ is Horrendous
Worst section of Interstate road over 25+ miles I've seen in my life. Literally had the wheel yanked out of my hands in 1 spot, had a dolly fender get shaken apart, & overall pretty much sealed the deal we won't be coming back into AZ until we hear they've addressed their unsafe road situation here.
The road is so bad in many areas there's no straddling potholes option nor option to switch & run in say, the hammer lane. Numerous places we saw folks in newer cars/trucks with flats following big holes in the road, many places with car debris &/or big chunks of asphalt sitting in the roadway etc.
We've been pretty disappointed in many AZ roads within last 6 months of traveling there as earlier this year we traveled up & down U.S. 93 to/from Vegas to Phx, which was also unacceptably awful over many miles as well.
I can handle dodging potholes here/there but when the road is blown up from shoulder to shoulder, over many contiguous miles, that's beyond what we'll put up with for our discretionary vacation travel. Just a heads' up, beware of I-40 EB out of Kingman right now.
