The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) announced three improvement projects that will require closures along Phoenix-area freeways this weekend (July 7–10). Drivers should allow extra travel time and plan detour routes while the following weekend restrictions are in place:
- Northbound Interstate 17 closed between Northern Avenue and Greenway Road from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday (July 10) for pavement improvement project. Northbound I-17 on-ramps at Bethany Home Road and Glendale Avenue closed. Expect heavy traffic and allow extra travel time.
- Detours: Consider using northbound State Route 51 to westbound Loop 101 to travel beyond closure. Northbound I-17 drivers also can consider exiting ahead of the closure and using northbound 19th Avenue.

Drivers also can consider using eastbound Baseline or Broadway roads to travel beyond closure.
