Specifically, eastbound I-10 closes from State Route 143 (Hohokam Expressway) to US 60 (Superstition Freeway) from 10 p.m. Friday to 10 p.m. Saturday for electrical work.

The following ramps in the Broadway Curve construction zone will close around the same time:

• Southbound I-17 to eastbound I-10 at the “Split” interchange near Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
• Eastbound I-10 on-ramps at 24th, 32nd and 40th streets.
• Eastbound I-10 off-ramp at Broadway Road.
• Southbound SR 143 HOV ramp to eastbound I-10.
• Westbound US 60 HOV ramp to westbound I-10.

Off the freeway, northbound 48th Street is closing from Broadway Road to I-10.

Eastbound I-10 traffic can detour via the Loop 202 Red Mountain Freeway to the southbound Loop 101 Price Freeway to either westbound US 60 or the westbound Loop 202 Santan Freeway to connect with I-10 beyond the closure.

An alternate detour is available for traffic heading from the West Valley to points beyond the closure. Drivers can take the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway near 59th Avenue to reach I-10 in the Chandler/Ahwatukee area.
