The westbound Loop 202 's (Santan Freeway's) off-ramp at Cooper Road in the southeast Valley is closed for about 60 days.
The 60-day ramp closure began Wednesday, Feb. 26, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. The closure allows crews to reconstruct the ramp as part of the ongoing Loop 202 widening project in Chandler and Gilbert.
Drivers should consider using the westbound Loop 202 off-ramps at McQueen or Gilbert roads while the exit at Cooper Road is closed.
The Loop 202 Improvement Project involves adding lanes and interchange improvements along 8 miles of Loop 202 between Loop 101 (the Price Freeway) and Val Vista Drive in Chandler and Gilbert. The project is discussed in the latest episode of the On the Road with ADOT podcast, which you can locate through Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
You also can find episodes at azdot.gov/Podcast and featured in ADOT Blog posts.
The project is scheduled under the Regional Transportation Plan managed by the Maricopa Association of Governments, which serves as the metropolitan planning organization for the Greater Phoenix region.
