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.

  • Nice - finally. It's been a long wait and I'm glad it's finally over.
  • 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).
  • Wow - hard to believe it is finally done! Been a few years since I have been there but next time out I will check it out.
  • HIP
    23 years !!! what were they doing. Hope it was worth the wait
