Arizona State Route 505 (SR 505) or Loop 505, also known as the Pinal North–South Freeway is a planned freeway in the extreme southeastern region of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area currently under study by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). When constructed, the route will connect Apache Junction, San Tan Valley, Florence, and Eloy, and serve as a Phoenix–Mesa bypass for cities and suburbs in far eastern Maricopa County and northwestern Pinal County.[2]

Route description

[edit]

The exact route of the freeway has yet to be determined, but the corridor currently under study by ADOT has been narrowed down to a 1,500-foot-wide (460 m) corridor, which shows the southern terminus at Interstate 10 (I-10) near Eloy. From I-10, the route will run to the east of SR 87 northward to Coolidge and Florence where it will cross the Gila River just north of an intersection with SR 287 and continuing northwards toward a planned intersection with SR 24 east of Queen Creek. Continuing north, the freeway will serve the rapidly growing suburbs of San Tan Valley and Apache Junction, ultimately ending at its northern terminus in the Apache Junction-Gold Canyon area at an interchange with the Superstition Freeway at its planned Gold Canyon realignment.[3][4][1]
