Eastbound Santan Freeway shut from Gilbert Road to Williams Field Road until 5 a.m. Monday

Drivers heading east on the Loop 202 Santan Freeway in the Southeast Valley need another route for the rest of the weekend. The Arizona Department of Transportation shut the eastbound lanes from Gilbert Road to Williams Field Road at 10 p.m. Friday for work on the freeway's widening, and plans to reopen them at 5 a.m. Monday.

Eastbound entrance ramps from Arizona Avenue through Val Vista Drive are closed over the same hours.

For a detour, ADOT suggests heading east on Chandler Boulevard and Williams Field Road. Another option is Germann Road east to Higley Road. Either way, drivers can get back on eastbound Loop 202 past the closed section.

Westbound exit in Chandler

On the other side of the freeway, the westbound Loop 202 exit at Arizona Avenue is also closed from Friday night until 5 a.m. Monday for bridge work. ADOT points drivers to the westbound exits at McQueen Road or Alma School Road instead. A separate overnight closure of the westbound Price Road exit ended at 9 a.m. Saturday.

Elsewhere in the Valley

Three other full closures run until 5 a.m. Monday, according to the advisory:

SR 51 northbound, Glendale Avenue up to Shea Boulevard (since 9 p.m. Friday); northbound entrance ramps from Indian School Road through Northern Avenue are shut as well
Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway) eastbound, 75th Avenue to 51st Avenue
Loop 303 eastbound, Interstate 17 to 43rd Avenue

ADOT says its schedules can shift because of weather or other factors. Current conditions are posted at az511.gov and by calling 511.
