## Resource

This weekend’s freeway chaos is real — major closures and lane reductions hit key routes across the valley. Southbound Loop 101 is fully shut down between Loop 202 and Rio Salado Parkway. Northbound SR 51 narrows to two lanes between Northern Ave and Shea Blvd, with full lane reductions starting Monday and lasting seven weeks. Eastbound Loop 303 is closed between 43rd Ave and I-17, and eastbound Loop 202 between Gilbert Rd and Williams Field Rd is also blocked. Plus, the westbound I-10 ramp to eastbound Loop 202 closes Sunday night into Monday. Plan ahead, add buffer time, and stay flexible — your commute’s going to need it.
