Trapped in Oro Valley: The intersection of Oracle Road and Ina, just south of Oro Valley, has become a nightmare. This intersection is a major gateway between Oro Valley and Tucson. It's not possible to avoid using it if you are traveling south or east. This is because La Canada, south of Ina Road is under construction from Ina to River Road. It will be such for at least two more years. Meanwhile, the "geniuses" in highway planning, decided to start the reconstruction of the Ina and Oracle intersection. That is a three year project. What will result, is what is called a "Michigan Turn System" where, if you want to take a left turn, you will have to drive past the intersection and make a u-turn.

With all the major arteries being under construction at once, it has become impossible to get to any of the doctor's offices/medical centers on LaCholla or Orange Grove or Ina without going at least 10 minutes out of your way to get there.
Can't take LaCholla to get to Ina or Orange Grove because that's torn up.
Can't take LaCanada to get to Orange Grove because that's torn up.
Can't take Shannon to get to Magee to then get to Ina or even to Thornydale because that's also torn up.
Who is the "brilliant mastermind" behind all of this?
New Motto.
Oro Valley, you can't get there from here.
