The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is asking drivers to allow for extra travel time on Valley freeways this weekend, July 19-22. Whether heading to WNBA All Star Weekend events downtown or traveling elsewhere, drivers should be aware of the following closures or restrictions for improvement projects along Phoenix-area freeways:

- Allow plenty of extra travel time and consider traveling during morning or nighttime hours.
