The 15th Avenue bridge over Loop 101 (Pima Freeway) in north Phoenix will be closed until late next year starting July 8, for improvements that are part of the Arizona Department of Transportation's ongoing freeway widening project.

Crews will be making changes to the bridge to allow room for new freeway lanes under the structure.

The 15th Avenue bridge over Loop 101 is closed in both directions between the freeway's frontage roads until late 2020.

The Loop 101 Pima Freeway Improvement Project is adding new travel lanes in areas along 13 mi. of the freeway between Interstate 17 in north Phoenix and Pima Road/Princess Drive in north Scottsdale.

The project started in February and is scheduled for completion in early 2021.
