Westbound Loop 202 off-ramp at Cooper Road to close for 2 months

PHOENIX — The westbound Loop 202 off-ramp at Cooper Road in Chandler will be closed for two months beginning Wednesday as crews continue work to improve the Santan Freeway, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

At 11:30 p.m., the off-ramp will be closed for approximately 60 days. No exact date was given on when the off-ramp will reopen.

The Cooper Road exit is being closed to allow construction crews to reconstruct the ramp. ADOT says drivers should the westbound off-ramps at McQueen or Gilbert roads while Cooper Road is closed.

Why is the Loop 202 closing for 2 months?

The off-ramp closure is part of the ongoing Loop 202 reconstruction project which is expected to take 2 1/2 years to complete, according to ADOT.

The improvements will span an 8-mile stretch of the Loop 202 between the Loop 101 Price Freeway in Chandler and Val Vista Drive in Gilbert.

Two lanes in each direction will be added between Loop 101 and Gilbert Road, and one lane will be added each way between Gilbert Road and Val Vista Drive.
