Closures of Interstate 10, US 60 and Loop 101 are scheduled, and Interstate 17 will be narrowed during mostly overnight hours in north Phoenix. Drivers should allow extra travel time and consider alternate routes while weekend work is taking place on these freeways:

Also: Westbound I-10 ramps to eastbound US 60 (Superstition Freeway) and northbound SR 143 both closed.
- Detours: Drivers can consider using eastbound Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) to southbound Loop 101 (Price Freeway) and Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) in the Chandler area to reach eastbound I-10 beyond the closure. Travelers on I-10 in the West Valley can consider using southbound/eastbound Loop 202 (South Mountain Freeway) to avoid the closure. Note: Most ramp closures will start at 8 p.m. Friday.
