PHOENIX — Crews have been working to install fencing underneath the overpass of Loop 202 Red Mountain over 44th Street in Phoenix.

We reached out to the Arizona Department of Transportation to ask if they were the group in charge of putting up the fencing.

ADOT told us the project is through the City of Phoenix, so we took our questions to city officials.

Is the fencing meant to deter the gathering of people experiencing homelessness?
