PHOENIX — Freeway closures in multiple parts of the Valley will impact drivers this weekend, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
In west Phoenix, westbound Interstate 10 will be closed between 35th and 67th avenues from 10 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Sunday for work on the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway interchange.
The Interstate 17 ramps to westbound I-10 at the “stack” interchange and the westbound I-10 ramp at 27th Avenue will also be closed during that time.
The I-10 closure won’t be a problem for Arizona Cardinals fans. The 7 a.m. reopening on Sunday shouldn’t cause any traffic concerns ahead of the 1 p.m. season opener against the Detroit Lions.
