Phoenix, AZ – Weekend drivers across the Phoenix metro area should expect major slowdowns on Loop 101 and Loop 202 due to multiple Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) projects beginning Friday night.
According to ADOT, southbound Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway) will close between 75th Avenue and Thunderbird Road from 9 p.m. Friday to noon Saturday, October 18, for pavement sealing. Northbound Loop 101 in the same area will close from 9 p.m. Saturday to noon Sunday, October 19.
Additionally, eastbound Loop 101 will be restricted to two lanes between 75th and 67th avenues and 43rd and 27th avenues from 10 p.m. Friday to 6 p.m. Saturday, October 18, as crews perform freeway lighting work.
Meanwhile, both directions of Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) will be reduced to two lanes between Cooper and Lindsay roads from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, October 18, for an ongoing widening project.
ADOT urges motorists to plan alternate routes and allow extra travel time, particularly for early morning and evening commutes in the Glendale, Peoria, and Chandler areas.
