Bell Road is a major east-west arterial road in northern metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona, United States.〔(30 January 2005). (DREADFUL BELL GROWTH TAKES ITS TOLL ON N. VALLEY'S MAIN ARTERY ), ''Arizona Republic''〕 Bell Road is one of the few roadways to cross the Agua Fria River in the northern part of the metro area, providing a vital link between the growing suburb of Surprise with Phoenix. As a result, the portion of Bell Road passing through Surprise and Sun City is the busiest arterial road in the state of Arizona.〔 〕 The road is named for farmer Harvey Bell, who, together with James Shea, formed in 1916 the Paradise Verde Irrigation District.〔Thompson, Clay (10 January 2007). (VALLEY ROADS: HOW THEY GOT THEIR NAMES ), ''Arizona Republic'' ("Shea Boulevard and Bell Road are for James Shea and Harvey Bell a pair of farmers who in 1916 put together the Paradise Verde Irrigation District.")〕〔North-Hager, Eddie (3 January 2001). (WEST BELL: TRAFFIC MAGNET MORE DEVELOPMENT WILL ONLY WORSEN JAMS ), ''Arizona Republic''〕 ==Route description== At its eastern terminus, the main segment of Bell Road, approximately in length, begins at the corporate boundaries of Phoenix and Scottsdale at its intersection with Scottsdale Road. Traveling west, the road intersects State Route 51 and Interstate 17 in Phoenix, the Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway) in Peoria, and Grand Avenue and State Route 303 in Surprise. West of the Beardsley Canal, the roadway curves around the White Tank Mountain Regional Park, becoming the Sun Valley Parkway. East of 66th Street, Bell Road takes a south-easterly bend and, at its intersection with Scottsdale Road, becomes Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard, named in recognition of architect and designer Frank Lloyd Wright. This alignment was built in the mid-1970s during the construction of the CAP canal.〔http://www.historicaerials.com/aerials.php?javascript=1&scale=622&lon=-111.92868476269031&lat=33.63777377029446&year=1970〕 In this area of Scottsdale, a non-contiguous segment of Bell Road approximately long exists north of Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard, which includes an intersection with the eastern leg of State Route 101. East of the McDowell Mountains, the Bell Road alignment forms the northern boundary of the city of Fountain Hills. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bell Road (Phoenix Metro)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
