McKellips Road, SR 101 to Alma School Road
Project #: TT0342
Project Description
After more than two years of construction, McKellips Road between the State Route Loop 101 (SR 101L) and Alma School Road is now open to motorists with two lanes in each direction. This project has reached substantial completion and remains on track for completion in early 2026. As a result, intermittent finishing work is underway, and motorists may see crews on site addressing final clean-up items such as landscaping, striping touch up and other final efforts as required. Please continue to watch for work crews, obey all traffic control signs, and follow reduced speeds in the work zone.
Longmore Road at McKellips Road remains closed for a project managed by the Salt River Pima - Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC).
Since early 2025 when the project began, crews have installed:
- a reinforced concrete box culvert across McKellips Road between 92nd Street and Dobson Road;
- a traffic signal at Dobson and McKellips roads;
- street lighting near the intersection of Longmore and McKellips roads;
- curbs and gutters, sidewalks, roadway medians, and new asphalt pavement to McKellips Road within the project limits.
- a raised median on McKellips Road, from the SR 101L to Alma School Road, with breaks to accommodate traffic turns and access at the intersections of 92nd Street, Dobson, Longmore, and Alma School roads.
The project’s improvements are designed to better manage stormwater drainage, improve traffic flow and turning movements, and provide for pedestrian accommodations along the corridor. New street lighting increases visibility, while the added curbs, gutters, sidewalks and asphalt pavement help extend the overall life of the roadway.
