Looking at some Town of Gilbert documents, ADOT and the Town of Gilbert are proposing adding an interchange at Loop 202 SanTan Freeway and Lindsay Road. Geometry studies have been ongoing.

Exactly. Ellsworth and Hunt Highway comprise the main artery connecting STV and QC to Gilbert, Mesa and points beyond. It's undergone an impressive number of widening projects in recent years.
I wonder what the ultimate plan is for a freeway connection to San Tan Valley, if one exists. Given all the development along the Ellsworth/Hunt corridor, I think building up Ironwood/Gantzel to freeway standards and placing an interchange at AZ 24 when it eventually comes through would be a nice option.

The Pinal North-South Freeway is one planned to eventually serve San Tan Valley and nearby areas. It would go from US 60 around Ironwood Dr to I-10 somewhere near Eloy.

I think this is a good idea. Lindsay Road is also planned to have a west-half interchange with US 60 in the 2020s. Loop 202 is scheduled to gain an interchange at Mesa Drive around the same time.

Of course, the nearby canals may be a problem, which could be why interchanges have not been built and possibly why the US 60 interchange will only be west-half.
