Reminder- Loop 303 bridge work to close stretch of US 60 from this weekend

Motorists should plan ahead, consider alternate routes

SURPRISE ‒ Grand Avenue (US 60) will be closed from 9 p.m. Friday, March 18, to 7 p.m.Sunday, March 20, between R.H. Johnson Boulevard/Sunrise Boulevard and Loop 303 to accommodate freeway bridge work, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Motorists should plan ahead and consider alternate routes while this closure is in effect.

Crews will be painting the bridge and installing sound panels and signage at the Loop 303/Grand Avenue interchange as part of a $46 million ADOT project scheduled for completion this summer.

The primary detour for Grand Avenue traffic will be along Loop 303 and Bell Road. Southbound Loop 303 drivers in the Peoria area can connect with Grand Avenue via southbound El Mirage Road and westbound Bell Road.

Depending on their destination, motorists heading southeast on US 60 may want to consider eastbound State Route 74 to southbound Lake Pleasant Parkway or southbound I-17.

North- and southbound traffic on Loop 303 will not be affected by the Grand Avenue closure. Northwest travel on US 60 towards Wickenburg via Loop 303 will still be accessible.
