PHOENIX — The west side will be hit hardest by Valley freeway restrictions this weekend, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
In west Phoenix, eastbound Interstate 10 will be closed between 67th and 43rd avenues from 9 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday for paving as part of the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway interchange project.
The eastbound I-10 on-ramps at 91st, 83rd, 79th and 75th avenues will also be closed.
The closure will have an impact on traffic for a pair of Saturday events in Glendale — the Arizona Coyotes’ home opener at Gila River Arena and Monster Jam at State Farm Stadium.
