ADOT postpones opening first I-10/Loop 303 ramp

PHOENIX — An early opening of a ramp connecting Interstate 10 and the Loop 303 has been postponed, he Arizona Department of Transportation said Friday.

The interchange between eastbound Interstate 10 and northbound Loop 303 was expected to open Saturday afternoon to reduce the amount of traffic on eastbound I-10. However, ADOT officials postponed the opening to install overhead lighting on all ramps.

The ramp, along with the remainder of the $145 million project, is expected to be completed on schedule in September.
