The longest bridges on the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway, two half-mile-long spans over the Salt River, are emerging in Laveen.
Construction is now two-thirds complete on these bridges, which will serve growing areas of the southwest Valley when the freeway opens by late 2019, according to a press release.
Travelers in this area currently have access to just one all-weather crossing of the Salt River between 35th Avenue and Avondale Boulevard: the city of Phoenix’s 51st Avenue bridge.
