Phoenix, AZ – Drivers in the West Valley should prepare for a new ramp closure this week as part of the ongoing Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway) widening project. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), the 67th Avenue on-ramp to eastbound Loop 101 will close beginning 11:30 p.m. Monday, January 12, and is expected to remain closed for about 60 days.
The closure will allow crews to continue reconstruction between 75th Avenue and Interstate 17, part of a broader project to improve traffic flow and capacity on the Loop 101 corridor.
According to ADOT, drivers heading eastbound on Loop 101 are advised to exit at 75th Avenue and use the frontage road (Beardsley Road) or detour to 59th Avenue to reach the freeway. The eastbound Loop 101 on-ramp at 75th Avenue remains closed during this phase of work.
Meanwhile, the on-ramps at 51st, 59th, and 67th avenues to westbound Loop 101 have reopened after months of construction, providing some relief for westbound commuters.
Motorists are urged to allow extra time, follow detour signs, and use caution near construction zones as crews continue the Loop 101 improvements through spring.
