ADOT continually
plans for enhancements to the roadway once it is built and in use
for maximum efficiency and safety. Various studies identify these
enhancements and may influence additional planning, design and construction.
Project: Loop 101 (Pima Freeway)
Princess Drive to Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) General
Purpose Lanes
Overview:
The project is a Design Concept Report/Environmental Study
to construct general purpose lanes on Loop 101 (Pima Freeway)
from Princess Drive to Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway). The
project is approximately 15 miles and will pass through the
City of Scottsdale and Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community.
An environmental document and related technical reports will be developed collectively with the design concept study for this project. The documents will include an evaluation of environmental factors such as traffic noise impacts and proposed mitigation if necessary. Modifications to the signing, pavement markings, freeway management
system (FMS), and lighting to accommodate the additional lanes
will be evaluated during this study.
Schedule: Study was completed in late 2009.
A map and contact information are available on the Design
Concept Report flyer. (file size: 1.03

Project: Loop 101 (Agua Fria/Pima Freeway)
Interstate 10 to Tatum Boulevard High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes
Overview:
The proposed project would construct High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes on Loop 101 (Agua Fria/Pima Freeways) from Interstate 10 to Tatum Boulevard, as well as an additional general purpose lane on Loop 101 near the interchange with Interstate 17. The proposed project is approximately 30 miles and passes through the communities of Glendale, Peoria, Phoenix and unincorporated Maricopa County.
Schedule:
Construction of the proposed HOV lanes between I-17 and Tatum Boulevard is anticipated to begin in early 2011. For more information, contact the Public Involvement & Partnering Outreach Team at valleyfreeways@azdot.gov.
