A virtual public meeting will take place Wednesday, June 8, to provide information about a future project to widen Loop 202  in the southeast Valley.

The Arizona Department of Transportation and partnering agencies will host the meeting about the planned Loop 202 project in the Chandler and Gilbert areas. 

The project is scheduled to start construction in 2024 as part of the Maricopa Association of Governments’ Regional Transportation Plan.

It will add two lanes in each direction along Loop 202 between Loop 101 and Gilbert Road as well as one new lane in each direction between Val Vista Drive and Gilbert Road.

The meeting will include a presentation by project staff and an opportunity for participants to ask questions and provide comments either online or by phone. 

The meeting will begin 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 8, via Zoom.

Construction is funded in part by Proposition 400, a dedicated sales tax approved by Maricopa County voters in 2004
