The Arizona Department of Transportation completed a study in 2023 that evaluated improvements to the Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway) and Interstate 10 system interchange in the West Valley, producing a Design Concept Report.
The Arizona Department of Transportation, in partnership with the city of Phoenix and Maricopa Association of Governments, is widening the eastbound Loop 101 to southbound State Route 51 ramp from one to two lanes. These improvements will include:
ADOT has initiated a project to widen and make other improvements to the Loop 202 between Loop 101 and Val Vista Drive in the city of Chandler and town of Gilbert.
The Loop 202 (South Mountain Freeway) adds 22 miles of freeway to the existing Phoenix metropolitan transportation system. The freeway connects the east and west valley while providing much needed relief to existing freeway corridors and local streets.
The Arizona Department of Transportation, in coordination with the Maricopa Association of Governments and the cities of Phoenix and Peoria, is planning for improvements to Loop 303 between Lake Pleasant Parkway and Interstate 17 that will include an additional general purpose lane in each direction, bridges to accommodate a future interchange at 67th Avenue, and a new Loop 303/I-17 system-to-system interchange. The project seeks to address growing traffic demands on Loop 303.
The Arizona Department of Transportation, in partnership with the Maricopa County Department of Transportation and the town of Gilbert, is planning improvements to Mews Road between Higley Road and 172nd Street.
The project will implement intelligent transportation system (ITS) infrastructure in several corridors in the town of Queen Creek. These improvements will provide additional technology to manage traffic to improve safety and efficiency. This project is a partnership between ADOT and the town of Queen Creek.
ADOT has several planned improvement projects on the State Route 347 corridor between Interstate 10 and State Route 238 in the city of Maricopa. This segment of SR 347 is located primarily within the Gila River Indian Community (GRIC). Therefore, all studies and projects are being coordinated with GRIC, in accordance with federal and state regulations.
