Westbound Loop 202 closed Saturday between Gilbert and Cooper roads
PHOENIX – A few closures or lane restrictions are scheduled this weekend (May 30-June 2) for improvement projects along parts of Phoenix-area freeways, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. Drivers should allow extra travel time and plan on using detour routes as needed while the following weekend restrictions are in place:
- Westbound Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) closed between Gilbert and Cooper roads from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday (May 31) for work on widening project. Westbound Loop 202 on-ramps at Santan Village Parkway, Val Vista Drive and Lindsay Road closed. Westbound Loop 202 frontage road between Lindsay and Gilbert roads closed. Eastbound Loop 202 HOV lane closed between Cooper and Gilbert roads.
- Detours: Consider using westbound Pecos or Germann roads to travel beyond the closure. Westbound US 60 (Superstition Freeway) is an alternate freeway route.
- East- and westbound Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway) right lanes closed near 51st Avenue from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday (June 2) for bridge work. Plan on 51st Avenue to be closed in both directions at Loop 101.
- Detours: Consider using other nearby cross streets including 35th or 59th avenues.
- Northbound Loop 101 (Price Freeway) ramp to westbound Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) closed overnight from 9 p.m. Sunday to 4 a.m. Monday (June 2) for pavement maintenance.
- Detours: Drivers can consider traveling onto eastbound Loop 202 and exiting at Dobson Road before turning to enter westbound Loop 202.
Schedules are subject to change due to inclement weather or other factors. ADOT plans and constructs new freeways, additional lanes and other improvements in the Phoenix area as part of the Regional Transportation Plan for the Maricopa County region.
Most projects are currently funded in part by Proposition 400, a dedicated sales tax approved by Maricopa County voters in 2004. Voters last November approved Proposition 479, extending the existing half-cent tax to fund future transportation projects in the Phoenix region.
Reminder: Real-time highway conditions are available on ADOT’s Arizona Traveler Information site at AZ511.gov, the az511 app (download for Apple or Android devices) or by calling 511.
