I didn't know about 101 construction in the east valley. Where (what stretch) is the construction? I'll be coming down to Apache Junction after New Year. I normally drive (southbound) 17/101/60 or 17/101/202/60.
I took it midweek last week and what I hit was construction on the 101 from the Price Rd/202 beginning all the way up to the 60. It looks like road widening in both directions.

I would say take the 202 as the whack-em-up crunch at the 101 to 60 ramps is as bad as it gets, often backing up to just under the 202.
I got off at the 202 and did some in town things but reconnected with he 101 at Via Linda. Up pass the N.Scottsdale curve was here and there construction almost all the way to the 17 in both directions.
Lots of the mess is compounded during rush hours and to a lesser degree day time hours. But since ADOT does lots of closures at nights and weekends, you really need to check AZ511 the day before and the day of travel.
