Weekend travelers, beware: parts of Interstate 10 near downtown Phoenix will be closed for scheduled maintenance in the Deck Park tunnel. However, the planned closures are only expected to occur mostly during the night.
In addition to the Deck Park tunnel closures, there will be restrictions along the westbound Loop 202 between McDowell and Gilbert roads in Mesa.
The Arizona Department of Transportation urges drivers to consider alternate routes, and to allow extra travel time during these areas.
Here are the scheduled restrictions:
