PHOENIX — Three ramps connecting Interstate 10 and the Loop 303 in the West Valley were opened to traffic for the first time Sunday, the Arizona Department of Transportation said.
“These new connections provide new options for many West Valley drivers as we look forward to other future freeway improvements that save travel time and help the region manage growing traffic needs,” John Halikowski, the agency’s director, said in a release.
A fourth ramp was expected to be opened by the end of the week after crews finish lane striping.
The ramps connect the east- and westbound lanes of I-10 to the north- and southbound lanes of the Loop 303.
Crews also finished work on the stretch of Loop 303 that travels under I-10 between Thomas Road and Van Buren Street.
Work was expected to begin in two years on a new stretch of Loop 303 that will eventually connect to Maricopa County Highway 85.
