Overview

The Arizona Department of Transportation, in partnership with the city of Scottsdale, is widening Loop 101 (Pima Freeway) between Princess Dr/Pima Rd and Shea Blvd by one general-purpose lane in each direction and modifying existing interchanges to improve traffic flow on Loop 101 and the cross streets.

Fact Sheet (English)

Project Elements

  • Widen Loop 101 between Princess Dr/Pima Rd and Shea Blvd by one general-purpose lane in each direction
  • Add a third southbound left turn lane at Princess Dr/Pima Rd interchange
  • Convert Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd interchange to a diamond configuration
  • Add right turn lanes at Raintree Dr and Shea Blvd
  • Update sidewalks to make them ADA compliant
  • Upgrade freeway and ramp lighting

What to Expect

  • Construction began in January 2024 and will take approximately two years to complete.

  • Work will require lane restrictions and full closures on Loop 101, the interchange ramps and cross streets, and will occur primarily during overnight hours and weekends to minimize traffic impacts. Access to businesses and residences will be maintained.

  • Long-term on- and off-ramp closures will be required (up to 60 days).

  • ADOT will provide advance notice of restrictions and closures to email subscribers and on the project web page.
