ADOT, in partnership with the town of Gilbert, is constructing a new interchange on the Loop 202 Santan Freeway at Lindsay Road. The interchange will provide direct freeway access to Gilbert’s central business district and surrounding residential and commercial development, according to a release.

The interchange will improve traffic flow in the area by widening Lindsay Road and reducing traffic congestion at the existing interchanges at Gilbert Road and Val Vista Drive. The completed project will also accommodate future general purpose lane widening of the Santan Freeway.

Schedules are subject to change based on weather and other unforeseen factors.
