Thanks to new funding provided by the Maricopa Association of Governments, the Arizona Department of Transportation will be making additional near-term improvements on U.S. 60 and Loop 303 in Surprise to help improve traffic flow.

Improvements for U.S. 60 and Loop 303 in 2025 are as follows:

• Adding a second right turn lane on eastbound U.S. 60 to the southbound Loop 303 on-ramp.
• Adding a third left turn lane from the southbound Loop 303 off-ramp to westbound U.S. 60.
• Lengthening the two-lane portion of the southbound Loop 303 on-ramp.

Improvements for U.S. 60 and 163rd Avenue in 2025 are as follows:

• Adding a dedicated eastbound right turn lane into the drive between Deer Valley Road and 163rd Avenue and an acceleration lane along eastbound U.S. 60.
• Adding a fourth lane in each direction along U.S. 60 through the 163rd Avenue intersection.

ADOT is currently designing these improvements. The public can submit comments at forms.gle/TTX6SYgQZ9t7CGBp9, by email at projects@azdot.gov or by phone at 855-712-8530.

Those who want to submit comments by mail can write to ADOT Community Relations, 1655 W. Jackson, MD 126F, Phoenix, AZ 85007
