Eastbound Loop 101 ramp to SR 51 now has second lane
PHOENIX – There’s more room for drivers who use the eastbound Loop 101 (Pima Freeway) ramp to southbound State Route 51 in northeast Phoenix.
Following a closure over the weekend, the Arizona Department of Transportation has opened a second lane leading into and along that often busy connection at the Loop 101/SR 51 interchange.
Work to widen the ramp to two lanes started last September. Crews also have installed overhead signs along eastbound Loop 101 between Cave Creek Road and SR 51 and constructed a new concrete barrier along a curved portion of the ramp.
The expanded eastbound Loop 101 ramp to southbound SR 51 ramp is part of a $3.6 million project funded through the Maricopa Association of Governments’ regional transportation plan. ADOT has managed the project in cooperation with the City of Phoenix.
Real-time highway conditions are available on ADOT’s Arizona Traveler Information site at az511.gov and via the AZ511 app (download free for Apple and Android devices). ADOT also provides highway condition updates via its X/Twitter feed, @ArizonaDOT.
