PHOENIX — Drivers will have to detour around Interstate 10 closures in the East and West Valley this weekend.
In the East Valley, westbound I-10 is set to be closed from the Loop 202 Santan/South Mountain interchange to the U.S. 60 Superstition Freeway from 10 p.m. Friday to noon Sunday for work on the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
All Loop 202 ramps to westbound I-10 and the westbound I-10 on-ramp at Wild Horse Pass Boulevard are also scheduled to be closed at that time.
In addition, eastbound I-10 from U.S. 60 down to the Loop 202 was expected to be closed from 8 p.m. Saturday to 4 a.m. Monday.
Those plans were postponed because of a closure on the U.S. 60 on Saturday morning due to a water main break.
The eastbound I-10 HOV ramp to eastbound U.S. 60, the westbound U.S. 60 ramp to eastbound I-10 and the eastbound I-10 on-ramp at Broadway Road were also expected to be closed at that time.
Plan ahead for closures this weekend (May 6-9)
🚧 I-10 closed in BOTH directions between US 60 and Loop 202
🚧 I-10 eastbound closed between Avondale Blvd and Loop 101
🚧 I-10 westbound closed between 75th Ave and Loop 101

In the West Valley, eastbound I-10 will be closed between Avondale Boulevard and the Loop 101 Agua Fria Freeway from 9 p.m. Friday to 9 p.m. Saturday for work as part of a pavement improvement project.

The northbound Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway ramp to westbound I-10 and the westbound I-10 on-ramp at 67th Avenue will both be closed during that time as well.
