Connection Between Loop 303, I-10 Now Open

Good news for drivers in the West Valley. Getting onto and off of I-10 from the Loop 303 just got easier.

The Arizona Department of Transportation opened the interchange linking I-10 and Loop 303 in Goodyear on Sunday morning. The provides drivers with the first-ever direct connection between the two freeways.

One of the new ramps connects southbound Loop 303 traffic to eastbound I-10, while the second ramp provides eastbound I-10 traffic with a faster way to reach northbound Loop 303.

ADOT expects to open two remaining ramps at the interchange by September.

Construction on the $145 million freeway-to-freeway interchange started in November 2011.
