Loop 101 (Price Freeway) forms the southernmost leg of Loop 101, connecting with the Red Mountain and Superstition Freeways before terminating at the Santan Freeway in Chandler. Improvements will add HOV lanes in the median of Loop 101 from the Red Mountain Freeway to the Santan Freeway. The estimated duration of construction is 10 months. The second project segment will add HOV lanes on Loop 101 between Baseline Road and the Santan Freeway.This segment began in spring/summer 2008 and the project is estimated to be completed in early 2009.

| State Route 51 | ||
To address the future demands on this route, the Regional Transportation Plan calls for the addition of both general-purpose lanes and HOV lanes. ADOT will be constructing one new High Occupancy Vehicle lane in each direction on State Route 51 (Piestewa Freeway) between Shea Blvd. up and on to the Loop 101 to Tatum Blvd. Additionally, as a part of this construction project, ADOT will add new HOV ramp connections to the SR 51 and Loop 101 Interchange. Construction began in summer 2007, with completion anticipated in late summer 2008. Source: The Arizona Department of Transportation | ||
