Loop 202 on-ramp in southeast Valley now closed for 2 months. What to know
After a Memorial Day weekend break from freeway closures and restrictions, temporary closures and restrictions were planned for the May 30 through June 2 weekend on several Valley freeways and roads. This work included the Loop 202 improvement project, which includes adding and widening lanes, improving pavement, widening overpass bridges and constructing noise walls on parts of the freeway in the southeast Valley. The eastbound Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) on-ramp at Arizona Avenue in the Chandler area closed on May 28. The closure, as part of a $200 million improvement project, was set to last 60 days. The Arizona Department of Transportation said crews were reconstructing the ramp as part of the Loop 202 widening project. It was scheduled to reopen in late July. When complete, lanes will be added and interchanges improved along 8 miles of Loop 202 between Loop 101 (Price Freeway) and Val Vista Drive in Chandler and Gilbert. ADOT suggested drivers use detour routes, entering eastbound Loop 202 at Alma School or McQueen roads.
