23 years in the making and it’s finally a loop - kind of. The last segment of Loop 202 open tomorrow, July 20 in Mesa. It will connect east Mesa with the central valley and offer far-east valley drivers another option. Right now, to get from east Mesa to Tempe, Scottsdale or Phoenix, drivers only have one option - U.S. 60.
This completes the eastern part of the 202 and creates a nice loop around Chandler, Mesa and Gilbert. This section of the Loop 202 also creates an instant “bonus artery” for traffic and instant value for those buying or selling real estate in the far-east Phoenix Valley.
Now, if we could only get that western southwest quarter complete, tentatively called the “South Mountain Freeway” … but that’s a whole ‘nother story that involves more debate than I care to do on this fine Sunday morning.
