ADOT crews to close Loop 101 section this weekend for widening work

Posted

PHOENIX – The eastbound lanes of Loop 101 will be closed between 59th Avenue and Interstate 17 from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday for widening project work.

Eastbound Loop 101 on-ramps at Union Hills Drive, 75th Avenue and 67th Avenue also will be closed this weekend, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. Drivers should consider exiting ahead of the closure and using eastbound Union Hills Drive or Bell Road. 

The weekend closure is needed for the Loop 101 widening project between I-17 and 75th Avenue.

Two Loop 101 ramps are scheduled to close for two months starting late Monday night, May 19, for reconstruction. The 60-day closures of the westbound Loop 101 off-ramp at 51st Avenue and eastbound on-ramp at 59th Avenue start at 11:30 p.m. Monday. Drivers should plan on using other nearby off- or on-ramps.

The westbound Loop 101 on-ramp at 35th Avenue closed for two months starting May 12. 

Work on the $140 million project to widen Loop 101 between I-17 and 75th Avenue began last September and is expected to be completed in the spring of 2027.
