State Route 202, or Loop 202, (spoken as two-oh-two) is a partial beltway looping around the eastern Phoenix metropolitan area of central Arizona. It traverses the eastern end of the city of Phoenix, in addition to Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert, making it very vital to the metropolitan area freeway system.
Loop 202 has various names along its route:
The route currently begins at the Mini Stack interchange with Interstate 10 (I-10) and State Route 51 (SR 51) in Phoenix, and ends at I-10 near Ahwatukee.
Loop 202 consists of three sections. Two of these, the Red Mountain Freeway and the Santan Freeway, have been fully completed. The third section, known as the South Mountain Freeway, is under construction.
The first section of Loop 202 to open was the Red Mountain Freeway. It runs from the I-10/SR 51 Mini Stack interchange to US 60. It passes over the Salt River and through Tempe and Mesa en route, with an interchange with Loop 101 in Tempe. The final segment of the freeway from Power Road to University Drive opened on July 21, 2008. This opening marked the completion of the original Regional Freeway System as approved by Maricopa County voters in 1985 by Proposition 300.
