Project elements include:
Widening SR 24 by two lanes in each direction between Loop 202 and Williams Field Road and one lane in each direction between Williams Field Road and Ironwood Drive
Constructing new bridges over Williams Field, Crismon, Signal Butte and Meridian roads
Adding a diverging diamond interchange at Ironwood Drive
Widening Loop 202 by an additional lane near the SR 24 system interchange
Constructing new elevated ramps between Ellsworth Road and Loop 202 in both directions, which will include new bridges
The project is currently planned to advertise for construction in spring 2026. This project is funded in part through Proposition 479, a dedicated half-cent sales tax for transportation approved by Maricopa County voters in 2024.
