How to avoid Broadway Curve weekend closure

Weekend traffic can get from Phoenix to the East Valley by taking the eastbound Loop 202 Red Mountain Freeway to the southbound Loop 101 Price Freeway.

Once on the Loop 101, drivers can connect with I-10 beyond the Broadway Curve closure by heading west on either US 60 or the Loop 202 Santan Freeway.

Meanwhile, motorists starting in the West Valley can detour via the southbound/eastbound Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway, which reconnects with I-10 in the Chandler/Ahwatukee area.

In another restriction related to the Broadway Curve Improvement Project, the westbound I-10 ramp to eastbound US 60 in Tempe will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday.

More Phoenix-area freeway restrictions to watch

Valley drivers should also be aware of these non-Broadway Curve construction zones this weekend:

• In east Phoenix, the southbound SR 143 ramp to the westbound Loop 202 Red Mountain Freeway will be closed from 9 p.m. Friday to 2 p.m. Saturday for barrier wall repair.
• On the north side, the Loop 101 Agua Fria Freeway will be reduced to two lanes in both directions between 51st and 59th avenues from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday for an ongoing widening project.
