The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is hosting a virtual meeting today, Oct. 17, at 6 p.m. to discuss upcoming improvements to the Loop 101 and Interstate 10 interchange in the West Valley.

The project is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2025 and will include the construction of new direct High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) ramps and other enhancements aimed at improving traffic flow and connectivity.

The meeting will feature a presentation by ADOT’s project team, which will outline the scope of the planned improvements and the timeline for construction.

The department says the project includes the addition of HOV ramps connecting southbound Loop 101 to eastbound I-10 and westbound I-10 to northbound Loop 101.

Other improvements include ramp modifications at Thomas and McDowell roads and the construction of a new exit ramp from southbound Loop 101 to 91st Avenue.

Noise walls will also be added in areas where they are warranted.

The department says the planned improvements are part of a larger effort to enhance traffic flow and support economic development in the West Valley, developed in partnership with the cities of Avondale, Tolleson, and Phoenix, as well as the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG).

Residents and stakeholders can join the meeting via Zoom at azdot.gov/Loop101-I10-zoom or listen by phone by calling 1-346-248-7799 and entering Meeting ID 874 8631 0342#.

For those unable to attend, ADOT’s presentation will be available on the project website at azdot.gov/Loop101-I10-TI, along with additional details and an online comment form.

The project is funded through Proposition 400, a dedicated half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements approved by voters in the Maricopa County region in 2004, according to ADOT.
