PHOENIX — Repairs to on- and off-ramps connecting Interstate 10 and State Route 85 will cause a nearly three-week road closure in Buckeye beginning on Sunday.
Construction workers will be fitting the eastbound I-10 to southbound SR 85 ramp with new lanes and will be doing the same in the other direction from northbound SR 85 to westbound I-10.
The Arizona Department of Transportation suggests drivers use Broadway Road and Miller Road as detours to circumnavigate the closures, which are scheduled to reopen on Sept. 30.

Miller Road is located just two miles east of the ramp, while Broadway Road is a mile and a half south.

The construction site is on the west end of an ongoing project to widen I-10 from two to three lanes between Verrado Way west to SR 85.
That project, which cost $82 million and began in July 2021, is scheduled to finish in the summer of 2023.
There will also be overnight closures in the area at the westbound I-10 off-ramp at Watson Road through Friday.
Freeway construction through ADOT is partially funded by a sales tax approved by Maricopa County voters in Proposition 400, which was voted on in 2004.
