PHOENIX — The westbound lanes of the Loop 202 Red Mountain Freeway were reopened in Tempe after a closure on Saturday afternoon, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT).

The closure was due to a crash at Scottsdale Road. ADOT announced the reopening about two hours after the closure.

Drivers were advised to seek alternate routes, as the late afternoon closure caused a decent pileup.

The eastbound lanes were unaffected.
