OKRoads -- Spring Training 2004 Roadtrip -- Arizona Loop 303

Loop 303 is the newest loop highway in the Phoenix area. Currently, the highway connects Interstate 10 at its Exit 124 to U.S. 60 northwest of Surprise. The highway is two lanes wide at the present time, with enough room to expand when it becomes necessary. (With the growth in this part of the country, it's not really a question of if it'll be necessary, it's when it will be necessary!) On Day Seven of the Spring Training 2004 Roadtrip, I drove all of Loop 303.

	Loop 303 was rerouted onto Sarival Ave. on this particular day due to construction. This picture is on Glendale Ave. Eastbound at Sarival Ave.
	Here are the street signs from the intersection to help me remember how the highway was detoured.
	Northbound Sarival Ave. near Northern Ave.
	Northbound Sarival Ave. at McDowell Ave. The detour route goes back to the west to meet up with Loop 303.
	McDowell Ave. Westbound at Loop 303. This marked the end of the detour.

	Between Bell Rd. and U.S. 60, Loop 303 was built with overpasses already in place, like this one.
	Loop 303 North approaching U.S. 60. The highway is rerouted onto a service road of sorts while the construction on an extension of Loop 303 wraps up.
	Loop 303 North at U.S. 60. This marks the current northern terminus of Loop 303. There is no "END" sign present.
