ADOT announced that individual closures could last up to 20 minutes. Both I-10 ramps to northbound I-17 at the “Stack” interchange will be closed during work hours. The I-17 southbound frontage road between Indian School and Thomas roads will also be closed. The I-17 northbound frontage road in the area will briefly be closed as needed. Alternate routes include State Route 51 and the Loop 101. Ramps on I-17 southbound getting on at Indian School Road, I-17 northbound getting on at McDowell and Thomas roads, I-10 eastbound getting off at 27th Avenue and I-10 westbound getting on at Seventh Avenue will all be closed during work hours.
