Eastbound I-10 traffic will have to detour onto the eastbound Loop 202 Red Mountain Freeway at the start of the closure. Drivers can then take the southbound Loop 101 Price Freeway in Tempe to either westbound US 60 or the westbound Loop 202 Santan Freeway to reconnect with I-10 beyond the closure.

In addition, West Valley traffic can use the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway to bypass the closure and reconnect with I-10 in the Ahwatukee/Chandler area.

Where are the weekend restrictions other than Interstate 10?

Only two other areas were flagged in the ADOT weekend advisory.

In the East Valley, the westbound Loop 202 Santan Freeway will be closed between Alma School and Dobson roads from 11:30 p.m. Saturday to noon Sunday for work on a an ongoing widening project. The eastbound HOV lane will be closed over the same stretch.

ADOT suggests using Germann or Pecos roads for a westbound detour.

Meanwhile, State Route 347 will be limited to one lane in each direction at Cement Plant Road (Mammoth Way) and the Gila River Bridge north of Maricopa overnight Friday and Saturday from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. for pavement maintenance.
