The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers who use Loop 101 (Pima Freeway) in north Phoenix to plan for a westbound closure this weekend. The closure is needed as initial work continues on a two-year project to add new lanes on the freeway between Interstate 17 in Phoenix and Pima Road in Scottsdale.
The closure is scheduled to begin Friday night, Feb. 15. It is the second in a series of weekend closures scheduled through early March to allow crews to place temporary concrete barriers and shift lane striping throughout the project’s work zone.
ADOT advises drivers to slow down and use caution while the following closures are in place:
- Westbound Loop 101 will be closed between I-17 and Seventh Street from 10 p.m. Friday, Feb. 15, to 5 a.m. Monday, Feb. 18.
- Both westbound Loop 101 ramps to north- and southbound I-17 will be closed.
- Loop 101 westbound ramps at Seventh Avenue, Seventh Street and Cave Creek Road will also be closed.
Motorists should expect delays and use the following recommended detours while the weekend closure is in place:
-
Detour for westbound Loop 101 traffic: Exit at Seventh Street and detour along the Beardsley frontage road before re-entering the freeway at 27th Avenue.
- Motorists should consider using Deer Valley Road and Union Hills Drive as alternate routes to enter the westbound Loop 101 at 27th Avenue.
Work on the Loop 101 Improvement project is scheduled to last through early 2021. Learn more at azdot.gov/Loop101Improvements.
