The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) announced that closures or lane restrictions for freeway improvement projects in the Phoenix area will be limited this weekend, June 6-9. Drivers should allow extra travel time and plan on using detour routes as needed while the following weekend restrictions are in place:
- The north- and southbound Interstate 17 ramps to westbound Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway) will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday (June 9) for bridge work as part of the Loop 101 widening project. The westbound Loop 101 right lane will be closed near 31st Avenue. Use alternate routes while 31st Avenue also is closed in both directions at Loop 101.
- Detours while ramps are closed: Northbound I-17 drivers can consider exiting at Rose Garden Lane and southbound I-17 drivers can consider exiting at Deer Valley Road before traveling west to southbound 27th Avenue to access westbound Loop 101. Note: The westbound Loop 101 on-ramp at 35th Avenue and off-ramp at 51st Avenue are closed for several weeks for reconstruction.
