There are no active construction projects on the Loop 101 (Price Freeway). However, this freeway could be impacted by maintenance projects and/or construction on Loop 202 or local streets. Click the Closures & Restrictions tab above for information.

As a part of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) constructed one new High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane in each direction on Loop 101 (Price Freeway) between Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) and Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway). A new concrete median barrier was constructed and rubberized asphalt was placed to reduce traffic noise along the eight miles of new HOV lanes.

New HOV lanes can be used by vehicles with two or more occupants, qualified hybrid vehicles, and motorcycles during peak travel times between from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. They are designed to aide in relieving traffic congestion, encourage carpools and public transportation, allow for express bus service, shorten travel time, and reduce the overall number of vehicles on the road. HOV lanes are open to all vehicles at other times.

Loop 101 (Price Freeway) construction was funded with the half-cent sales tax under the voter-approved Proposition 400.
