Loop 101 Pima Update: Ramps at 90th Street open again, ramps at Via De Ventura to close

October 16, 2015

PHOENIX — As the Loop 101 (Pima Freeway) widening project continues in the Scottsdale area, drivers are again able to use the on- and off-ramps at the 90th Street interchange, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Crews reopened the Loop 101 ramps at 90th Street late last night (Thursday night) following two months of reconstruction work. The ramps were adjusted to fit into the new lanes being added as part of the Loop 101 widening project between Shea Boulevard and Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway).

The next stage of reconstruction work will close the Loop 101 on- and off-ramps at Via De Ventura for approximately 60 days starting at 10 p.m. Monday (Oct. 19). While the freeway ramps at Via De Ventura are closed, drivers can use the ramps at Indian Bend Road or 90th Street.

The work is part of the $73 million project to add new right lanes along Loop 101 between Shea Boulevard and Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway). The entire project is scheduled for completion next year.
