Valley Freeways

New freeway ramps to improve the flow of traffic near University of Phoenix Stadium and Jobing.com Arena in Glendale are now open.

The future Loop 101 HOV-lane ramps at the Maryland Avenue Bridge have truly taken shape near the Westgate City Center, Jobing.com Arena and University of Phoenix Stadium.

If you’ve driven in the West Valley recently, it’s likely you have noticed the work that’s occurring on Loop 101 near Maryland Avenue.

We’ve compiled a list and created a map, explaining and locating popular nicknames to Phoenix’s transportation landmarks.

Every Thursday, ADOT produces the Valley Freeways Weekend Closures map, detailing the major road closures planned for the upcoming weekend throughout Maricopa County's regional freeway system. The map is a great resource (if you don't already receive it you can sign up for that and other freeway-specific email updates), but we want to use the ADOT blog to take the closure information one step further; to tell you more about WHY we're closing the freeways -- about how your tax dollars are being spent to improve your transportation system.
