by on July 13, 2008

Loop202finished23 years in the making, Loop 202 in the Phoenix East Valley is finally finished.

The last 5 mile segment is scheduled to open on July 21 (yes, of 2008).

This will “close the loop” between roughly University & Ellsworth and Power & McDowell.

ADOT is planning quite the party on Tuesday, July 15 from 5pm – 8pm — right there on the new stretch of the freeway.

A bike ride, a fun run, exhibitors and a ribbon cutting ceremony with Governor Napolitano, Mesa Mayor Scott Smith and ADOT officials are planned. There is even a hula hoop contest (?).

More information on the event is here and here.

It allows you to login with Twitter, Facebook, Google+ LinkedIn, OpenId, LiveFyre and as a "Guest". I recommend getting a LiveFyre account, it has some great features (just click the LiveFyre button when you write your comment).

 

BLOG COMMENT POLICY: We respectfully ask that you use your real name (first name only is fine) and not use keywords (Why no keywords?). The only real "comment rules" are be civil -- no personal attacks -- and no advertising. (See the full comment policy here). Opinion and debate are welcome, but attack the idea, not the person.

Shouldn't it be a hula 'loop' contest in honor of the loop being complete??

Anyway, I love progress and new infrastructure. I hope this helps clear some traffic so that I don't have to stress as hard when I travel into your fair city (like I have to tomorrow for instance).
