The Gem Show came to Tucson in February 2009 once again and even with the construction on I-10, traffic seemed to flow well. We visited the Gem Show and used the Congress Street parking lot then took the shuttles to the various shows like we did last year. The I-10 construction was annoying but did not seem to slow things down too much. We can not wait to see clear streets again in downtown Tucson however.
Parking at the public lot (for $7) was not too bad, the shuttles were not crowded and were all clean and comfortable. The construction just required us to wait for more traffic lights than normal
Bridge construction downtown also closed the 4th ave underpass.
