PHOENIX — A closure on Interstate 10 in west Phoenix will affect motorists throughout the weekend.
Eastbound I-10 will be closed between 83rd and 51st avenues between 9 p.m. Friday and 4 a.m. Monday, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
The closure is for construction of a Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway interchange.
