Overnight lane restrictions on the Loop 202-Santan Freeway and closures of the interchange ramps at Gilbert Road and Val Vista Drive will begin at 9 p.m. Jan. 25.

The restrictions and closures will allow work to establish traffic control for the Lindsay Road interchange project.

That project, a partnership between the Arizona Department of Transportation and town of Gilbert, is for constructing a new interchange on the Loop 202-Santan Freeway at Lindsay Road. The Lindsay Road interchange will provide direct freeway access to Gilbert’s Central Business District and surrounding residential and commercial development.
