ADOT scores another win in court to build South Mountain Freeway
Construction on the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway started on Sept. 19 with improvements at the Interstate 10/Loop 202 Santan Freeway/Pecos Road interchange between Phoenix and Chandler, according to Arizona Department of Transportation. Shoulders are being widened, and the Loop 202 high-occupancy vehicle lanes will be extended over I-10 to 48th Street.
Arizona has won another round in court to allow development of the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway. The ruling lets Arizona Department of Transportation stay on schedule for beginning mainline freeway construction early in 2017.
