ALDEN - Interstate 75 is a major artery that connects most of Mesa's counties together by the use of the Northern and Southern portions of the Interstate. Furthermore, traffic has increased by 27% since last year and traffic flow continues to increase. As such, the Mesa Department Of Transportation has begun work extending the roadways, and increasing the number of lanes that each portion of I-75 has. The Alden County sections of I-75 currently only have 2 lanes for both the Northern and Southern portions. As you get closer to Ashburry, the lanes open up to three lanes both directions. Mile markers 122 - 255 include six exits towards Auckland Township, the City of Jabrea and the City of Aberdeen.
