Further east, drivers will have to deal with construction on northbound SR 143 (Hohokam Expressway) near Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The highway will be closed from I-10 to the Loop 202 Red Mountain Freeway from 10 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday for a traffic shift related to the Broadway Curve Improvement Project.
