Project widens Loop 303 ramp and restripes 163rd Avenue intersection
The Arizona Department of Transportation will begin work late July on interim US 60/Loop 303 interchange improvements.
The $4.6 million improvement project is expected to take four months to complete and is intended to improve traffic flow in this growing part of the West Valley.
The project is expected to begin late July and will include:
-
Adding a second lane to the northbound Loop 303 off-ramp at US 60
-
Widening the Loop 303/US 60 intersection to provide two dedicated left turn lanes, one optional right or left turn lane and one dedicated right turn lane from the northbound Loop 303 off-ramp to US 60
-
Adding a third left turn lane from southbound 163rd Avenue to eastbound US 60
-
Extending the existing eastbound US 60 third lane from just west of Loop 303 to 163rd Avenue
-
Sidewalk/ramp modifications for ADA compliance
There are future plans for more extensive improvements to reconstruct the Loop 303 and US 60 system interchange. These improvements are identified in the Regional Transportation Investment Plan for Maricopa County. Funding for projects in the plan will be considered by voters this November as part of Proposition 479.
