Default I8 road condition ?

Hello

Need info on interstate 8 between San Diego and Casa Grande!
1. what is the condition of the pavment good, rough, or just beat down.
2. Does traffic move along well or is it congested alot.
3. Services for gas.

Not looking for scenic road just want to get from point A to point B quickly!

Thanks Russ

I8 between Casa Grande and Yuma/El Centro, CA is just DULL!! No traffic, nothing. Only gas stop between CAG and Yuma is in Gila Bend. After El Centro, you go into the mountains still not much traffic. Once you hit Campo area, traffic starts to build up, but the highway widens as well all the way into San Diego. Pavement is excellent in AZ, worn but good in Kalifonistan

depends on what you consider good from my house to casa grnde it is 80/100 mph good except around tuscon that is and will have construction for the next 2/3 years .
road is still good just construction and all exits are closed.
traffic is light most of the time and gas is good almost every where. should be no problems at all.
