PHOENIX — Three Valley freeways will have closures this weekend as part of ongoing improvement projects, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
Westbound Interstate 10 will be closed between 51st and 67th avenues in west Phoenix between 10 p.m. Friday and 5 a.m. Monday for construction of the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway interchange.
The westbound I-10 on-ramps at 27th, 35th and 43rd avenues will also be closed for the project. The westbound I-10 off-ramp at 43rd Avenue will be closed, although for a separate widening project.
Westbound I-10 drivers in the Tucson/Casa Grande area not planning on stopping in Phoenix can avoid the closure by detouring on westbound Interstate 8 and northbound State Route 85 to I-10 in Buckeye, per ADOT.
