Loop 101/State Route 51 Ramp Widening

Overview

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:

• Adding new pavement along the existing ramp to accommodate a two-lane configuration.
• Constructing a new concrete barrier on the northeast curve of the ramp after paving.
• Restriping eastbound Loop 101 at the system interchange to provide a dual-lane exit to southbound SR 51.
• Installing new overhead signs on eastbound Loop 101.
• Installing new speed limit and warning signs.
• Restoring landscaping, including replanting salvaged trees.
