The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) announced a handful of scheduled weekend closures or lane restrictions this weekend, Jan. 10-13, primarily focused on work associated with the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project near Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. ADOT recommends that drivers allow extra travel time and consider alternate routes while the following weekend restrictions are in place:

  • Eastbound I-10 closed between the State Route 51 “Mini-Stack” interchange and US 60 (Superstition Freeway) from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday (Jan. 13) for the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project. Eastbound I-10 on-ramps between Third Street (downtown area) and Baseline Road closed. Southbound I-17 ramp to eastbound I-10 near Sky Harbor Airport closed. Southbound I-17 on-ramps at Seventh Avenue and Seventh Street closed.  Some ramp closures start at 8 p.m. Friday.
    • Detours: The primary detour route is eastbound I-10 to eastbound Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) starting at the Mini-Stack and using southbound Loop 101 (Price Freeway) to westbound US 60 or westbound Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) to reach I-10 beyond the closure. Drivers on I-10 in the West Valley can avoid the closure by using southbound/eastbound Loop 202 (South Mountain Freeway) to reach I-10 near Chandler Boulevard. More information: I10BroadwayCurve.comNote52nd Street closed between Broadway Road and 14th Street in Tempe from 8 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday (Jan. 13). Detours will be signed. Local access will be available.
  • Northbound State Route 143 (Hohokam Expressway) closed between I-10 and Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) from 10 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday (Jan. 13) for the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project.
    • Detour: Consider using westbound I-10 to eastbound Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway). Sky Harbor Airport access: Allow extra travel time and consider alternate routes to the airport’s west entrance via 24th Street or Buckeye Road. Traffic also can enter the airport from the north via 44th Street. Note: Some ramps to northbound SR 143 will close at 8 p.m. Friday.
  • Westbound I-10 narrowed to three lanes between 32nd and 24th streets near Sky Harbor Airport from 3 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday (Jan. 11) for sign work. Allow extra travel time and be prepared to slow down and merge safely when approaching and traveling through all work zones.
  • Northbound Loop 101 (Pima Freeway) on-ramp and southbound off-ramp at Raintree Drive in Scottsdale closed from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday (Jan. 13) for bridge work.
    • Detours: Drivers can use the northbound Loop 101 on-ramp and southbound off-ramp at Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard. Please allow extra travel time.

ADOT also issued a reminder that the southbound Loop 101 off-ramp at Cactus Road will be closed beginning at 1 a.m. Monday, Jan. 13, for approximately 60 days for ramp reconstruction as part of the current Loop 101 widening project. Drivers may consider exiting southbound Loop 101 at Raintree Drive and taking eastbound Raintree Drive to southbound 94th Street or westbound Raintree Drive to southbound Hayden Road to access Cactus Road.

Editor’s note: The story has been updated to reflect that the Loop 101 southbound off-ramp at Raintree Drive will not be closed; ADOT announced late Friday that they completed the necessary work ahead of schedule.
