Loop 202 closure will affect parts of East Valley
Posted
A section of Loop 202 in Mesa and Gilbert will be closed later this week for pavement maintenance.
The Arizona Department of Transportation reports that the eastbound/northbound Loop 202 between Val Vista Drive and U.S. 60 will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday, May 12 to 1 p.m. Saturday, May 13.
The following ramps also will be closed:
Eastbound Loop 202 onramps at Gilbert and Lindsay roads.
Westbound State Route 24 ramp to northbound Loop 202.
ADOT is advising drivers using eastbound U.S. 60 to take alternate local routes, which include northbound Ellsworth and Power roads, and Val Vista Drive. The department also is asking drivers to consider using eastbound Germann Road in areas south of Loop 202.
Crews plan to reopen Loop 202 in sections as the pavement sealant being applied to the freeway dries.
