Driving to Tucson
Interstate 10: In Arizona, I‑10 is the major east-west Interstate Highway in the United States Sun Belt, runs east from California, enters Arizona near the town of Ehrenberg, continues through Phoenix and Tucson, and exits at the border with New Mexico near San Simon. The highway also runs through the cities of Casa Grande, Eloy, and Marana.
Interstate 19: I-19 is a north-south Interstate Highway located entirely within Arizona. I-19 travels from Nogales, roughly 300 feet from the Mexican border, to Tucson, at I-10. The highway also travels through the cities of Rio Rico, Green Valley, and Sahuarita. I-19 is an oddity because it is the country’s only continuous highway that lists distances in kilometers, rather than in miles.
