Loop 101 South off-ramp at Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd closing for 2 months

PHOENIX — The southbound Loop 101 (Pima Freeway) off-ramp at Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard will be closing for two months, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

The closure will begin at approximately 1 a.m. on Monday and is scheduled to conclude by the end of May.

The ramp’s closure is part of ADOT’s freeway widening project in north Scottsdale. The on- and off-ramps between Shea Boulevard and Pima Road/Princess Drive are being reconfigured to match the widened freeway. One lane in each direction will be added along 4.5 miles of the freeway.

In addition, ADOT will reconfigure the Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard interchange into a diamond and add new signs, traffic signals and lighting.

The project to enhance the Pima Freeway between Shea Boulevard and Pima Road/Princess Drive began in January 2024 and has a total cost of $108 million. It is expected to be completed in early 2026.

Funding came via Proposition 400, the half-cent sales tax measure that was passed by Maricopa County voters in 2004.

Motorists who normally use the ramp are advised to exit southbound Loop 101 at Pima Road/Princess Drive then use southbound Loop 101 Frontage Road to arrive at Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard.
