PHOENIX — The northbound Loop 101 Pima Freeway off-ramp at Princess Drive/Pima Road in Scottsdale will close for an estimated 60 days starting Wednesday, officials said.
The Arizona Department of Transportation said the extended closure is a part of the ongoing freeway widening project that began back in January.
Motorists are advised to utilize an alternate route, such as the northbound Loop 101 exit at Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard and the frontage road to get to Princess Drive/Pima Road. Additionally, drivers should prepare for extra travel time and follow traffic suggestions such as slowing their speed and creating space away from construction workers.
The upcoming closure starts a week after the nearby northbound Loop 101 on-ramp at Frank Lloyd Wright was decommissioned for two months.
