PHOENIX — Planning to be out and about this weekend?
Luckily, there are no construction closures planned for Phoenix-area freeways Friday through Monday, the Arizona Department of Transportation said in a news release.
The agency reminded drivers to wear seat belts, stick to speed limits and avoid driving while impaired.
ADOT said last week that highway closures for construction and maintenance will be limited throughout the end of the year to accommodate holiday travel.
