UPDATE: Westbound Loop 202 closure between Priest Drive and I-10 now planned Sunday (Nov. 10)

This advisory updates the closure schedule for this work

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers that a stretch of westbound Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) will be closed over the weekend for pavement maintenance. The work was postponed due to rain last weekend. Please plan for the following closure:

• UPDATED: Westbound Loop 202 will be closed between Priest Drive and I-10/SR 51 from 11:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9, to 6 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10. The following ramps also will be closed:
  • The north- and southbound SR 143 ramps to westbound Loop 202

DETOUR: Drivers on westbound Loop 202 may consider taking southbound SR 143 to westbound I-10. Drivers trying to enter Loop 202 between Priest Drive and I-10/SR 51 can also consider taking local streets to avoid the closure. 

NOTE: North- and southbound SR 143 will be closed this weekend between McDowell Road and Van Buren Street. The westbound Loop 202 ramp (Sky Harbor Airport exit) leading to southbound SR 143 will remain open. 

Please note that crews plan to reopen Loop 202 in sections as the work progresses this weekend. ADOT advises drivers to use caution and be prepared to slow down and merge safely when approaching and traveling through all work zones.
