RECONSTRUCTION

North Scottsdale Loop 101 ramp closes July 31 for 60 days

Posted

The northbound Loop 101 off-ramp at Princess Drive/Pima Road in north Scottsdale is scheduled to be closed for about 60 days starting early Wednesday, July 31, state transportation officials said.

The ramp will be reconstructed as part of an ongoing freeway widening project in the area.

Drivers who normally would use the ramp should consider exiting northbound Loop 101 at Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard and using the northbound frontage road to reach Princess Drive/Pima Road, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

The $108 million Loop 101 Improvement Project between Shea Boulevard and Princess Drive/Pima Road started in January.

The northbound Loop 101 off-ramp at Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard, which closed in late May, was scheduled to reopen on July 27.

Over the course of the two-year Loop 101 project, on- and off-ramps between Shea Boulevard and Pima Road/Princess Drive will be rebuilt to fit with the wider freeway. The entire project is scheduled for completion in early 2026, ADOT officials said.

The project is adding one lane in each direction along 4.5 miles of the Pima Freeway north of Shea Boulevard. Other improvements include converting the Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard interchange to a diamond configuration and installing new signs, traffic signals and lighting.
