The highway will also be narrowed to one lane in both directions between Verrado Way and Watson Road from 9 p.m. Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday.
In northeast Phoenix, the northbound State Route 51 ramp to the eastbound Loop 101 Pima Freeway is set to be closed overnight from 9 p.m. Sunday to 5 a.m. Monday for removal of a temporary barrier wall.
