ADOT slates Glendale meeting on Loop 101 widening

Posted

The Arizona Department of Transportation will lead a public meeting about the upcoming project to widen Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway) between Interstate 17 and 75th Avenue is scheduled from from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 19, at Foothills Recreation and Aquatic Center, 5600 W. Union Hills Drive, Glendale.

This meeting to provide information about construction that will add a new lane in each direction and other improvements along Loop 101 west of I-17. Work is scheduled to start Sept. 27. The project will take approximately two-and-a-half years to complete.

Members of ADOT’s project team will present an overview of the project, 

In addition to adding a lane in each direction along six miles of Loop 101, the project to improve traffic flow also will add a third southbound left turn lane on 75th Avenue for traffic entering the eastbound freeway.

Crews will widen several bridges, reconstruct on- and off-ramps, resurface the freeway’s pavement and improve the ramp connecting westbound Loop 101 to northbound I-17.

Drivers should plan to allow extra travel time and use alternate routes as needed. Improvement work will require lane restrictions and full freeway closures,.

Individual on- or off-ramps will be closed for approximately 60 days while crews rebuild them to fit with the wider freeway. The project team will make accommodations to maintain access to businesses and residences.

ADOT is hosting the meeting in partnership with the cities of Glendale and Phoenix and the Maricopa Association of Governments.

ADOT’s presentation will be posted to the project website. For information visit azdot.gov/loop101-75th-I-17.
