Over 41 million single family units were permitted in the U.S. between 1980 and 2023, along with almost 19 million apartments.

East Valley drivers are in for an extended period of closures and delays on the Loop 202 Santan Freeway, but it’s for a good reason.

A $200 million freeway widening project starts this weekend and is expected to take 2½ years to complete, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT).

Two lanes in each direction will be added between Loop 101 and Gilbert Road, and one lane will be added each way between Gilbert Road and Val Vista Drive.
