It’s a busy weekend in the Valley, and the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is alerting drivers to important freeway improvements that will require closures and restrictions this weekend, Feb. 7-10. ADOT asks that drivers plan their travel, allow extra time and consult the Weekend Travel Advisory Map to avoid the following closures:

Eastbound I-10 closed between SR 51 (“Mini-Stack” interchange) and US 60 (Superstition Freeway) from 10 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday (Feb. 10) for work on the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project. Eastbound I-10 on-ramps between Third Street (downtown Phoenix) and Baseline Road closed (including the southbound SR 51 ramp to eastbound I-10). Southbound I-17 connection to eastbound I-10 near Sky Harbor Airport closed. Note: Some ramp closures start at 8 p.m. Friday. Allow extra travel time.
- Primary Detour: Eastbound I-10 traffic approaching the closure will detour to eastbound Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) and can use southbound Loop 101 (Price Freeway) to westbound US 60 or westbound Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) to reach I-10. I-10 drivers also can avoid the closure by detouring on southbound/eastbound Loop 202 (South Mountain Freeway) to reach I-10 near Chandler Boulevard. More information is available at I10BroadwayCurve.com. Note: Southbound I-17 on-ramps at Seventh Avenue and Seventh Street closed from 8 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday (Feb. 10).
Northbound I-17 closed between Loop 303 and State Route 74/Carefree Highway from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday (Feb. 10) for pavement improvement project. Eastbound Loop 303 traffic limited to right turns only to southbound I-17. Allow extra travel time.
- Detour: Northbound I-17 traffic will detour on the frontage road to SR 74 (before re-entering I-17). Use the frontage road detour and avoid using local streets east of I-17 that are not designed to handle freeway traffic. Some street closures will be in place (local traffic only). Access to the city of Phoenix Waste Transfer Station will be maintained via Dixileta Drive, but expect delays and allow extra time.
Westbound I-10 off- and on-ramps at Broadway Road closed from 8 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday (Feb. 10) for sign work. Broadway Road closed in both directions between I-10 and 55th Street. 52nd Street also closed in both directions at Broadway Road. Northbound 48th Street closed between Broadway Road and I-10 for bridge work.
- Detours: Alternate routes will be available. For more information visit I10BroadwayCurve.com. Note: Westbound I-10 narrowed to three lanes between Baseline and Broadway roads from 4 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday (Feb. 8).
