For example, the bus may look like a rectangle and the wheels like circles.
Ask her to find different shapes in the bus.
That’s enough reminiscing for one day, but come back tomorrow when we’ll review some of the major milestones related to the state highway system! We also will look at some of the planning that took place in 2013 and highlight other ADOT accomplishments. The ramps, which have already started taking shape, also will be available for use well before the Arizona Cardinals' 2014 season and the 2015 Super Bowl. When completed in 2014, the $11.7 million project will add access points for Westgate and venues such as Arena and University of Phoenix Stadium. It was just in October that ADOT launched construction of Loop 101 HOV-lane ramps at the Maryland Avenue bridge near the Westgate Entertainment District in Glendale. Loop 101 HOV-Lane Ramps (Maryland Avenue) The proposed project is currently in the developmental phase and ADOT is preparing the Final Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision, which is expected in 2014. The freeway was also part of the Regional Transportation Plan funding passed by Maricopa County voters in 2004 through Proposition 400. The project has been a critical part of the Maricopa Association of Governments’ Regional Freeway Program since it was first included in funding through Proposition 300 approved by Maricopa County voters in 1985. The South Mountain Freeway is the last piece to complete the Loop 202 and Loop 101 freeway system necessary for high-quality regional mobility. The freeway would run east and west along Pecos Road and then turn north between 55th and 63rd avenues, connecting with I-10 on each end. The entire project will be completed in 2014.ĪDOT hosted a public meeting in May at the Phoenix Convention Center for the proposed Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway. A much-needed second left-turn lane along northbound 19th Avenue approaching Grand Avenue was installed in time for the Arizona State Fair in October. Turn-lane additions and new traffic signals are among the enhancements. ADOT also kicked off a larger $12.7 million Grand Avenue improvement project between 71st Avenue in Glendale and 19th Avenue in Phoenix. US 60 (Grand Avenue) has been resurfaced between 71st and 83rd avenues in Peoria as part of a project that included landscaping, fencing and wall installations. The $71.4 million project started in March 2012 and is due to be open to traffic by spring 2014. Crews have constructed elevated ramps that will soon connect Loop 202 and SR 24 near Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. The first one-mile leg of SR 24 (Gateway Freeway) between Loop 202 and Ellsworth Road in southeast Mesa is nearing completion. A six-lane stretch of Loop 303 also is open between Peoria and Glendale avenues, while crews will complete work on other projects in 2014, including the $145 million interchange that will link I-10 with Loop 303 in Goodyear. This fall, ADOT completed a $128 million project to reconstruct the former two-lane highway into an urban freeway from Mountain View Boulevard, just south of Grand Avenue, to Peoria Avenue in Surprise. The projects are all aimed at improving Loop 303 into a modern six-lane freeway between I-10 and US 60 (Grand Avenue) in the West Valley.

Let’s get started with a Phoenix-Area Freeways wrap-up…ĪDOT Blog readers certainly know about the progress that was made in 2013 on a series of projects on and near the Loop 303. So, join us today and tomorrow as we review the year that included plenty of projects, a call for the public to “ Move Over”.

It’s just that 2013 was full of some pretty big accomplishments here at ADOT and we can’t help but want to look back. Here we are, six days into the New Year, and we’re still thinking about 2013.ĭon’t get us wrong, 2014 is going to be a great year and we are excited for what’s ahead (including the blog posts and videos we already have in the works!). 2013 was full of transportation accomplishments in Arizona.
