Chandler, AZ – Drivers along the Loop 202 Santan Freeway can expect smoother commutes this week as the westbound off-ramp at Alma School Road has officially reopened, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT).
The ramp, which closed in early September, underwent reconstruction as part of ADOT’s ongoing widening project between Loop 101 and Val Vista Drive. The reopening marks a key milestone in the multi-phase project designed to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion in the East Valley.
According to ADOT, crews are now preparing to reopen the eastbound on-ramp at Alma School Road by late November. Once complete, motorists will have full ramp access in both directions, improving travel times for commuters in Chandler and neighboring Gilbert and Mesa.
The Santan Freeway project is one of several upgrades underway to expand capacity across metro Phoenix’s growing transportation network. ADOT encourages drivers to stay alert near construction zones and to plan extra time for travel as work continues.
