Phoenix travelers should plan for closures along the I-10 near Broadway Curve and I-17 near Loop 101. ADOT warned drivers to expect delays.

Arizona drivers will experience road closures on major freeways this weekend, one of them being Interstate 10 between U.S. 60 and 32nd street, as well as the two-week closure of Guadalupe Road between Pointe Parkway and Calle Sahuaro.

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan ahead and allow for extra travel time this weekend.

Restrictions on Westbound I-10

Westbound I-10 will be closed between U.S. 60 and 32nd Street from 10 p.m. Friday until 4 a.m. Monday.

The closure is due to the continuation of the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project. ADOT said that this is a series of weekend freeway closures planned this summer as the project continues.

Officials suggest that drivers use eastbound Loop 202 or westbound U.S. 60 to northbound Loop 101 to westbound Loop 202 to access westbound I-10 beyond the closure.

ADOT also said drivers heading to the West Valley can bypass the work zone by using Loop 202 west and north to connect with I-10 at 59th Avenue.

According to ADOT, these ramps will be closed:

  • Westbound U.S. 60 and Southbound SR 143 ramps to westbound I-10.

  • Westbound I-10 on-ramps between Elliot Road to 40th Street.

  • Westbound U.S. 60 on-ramps at McClintock Drive, Rural Road, and Mill Avenue.

ADOT recommends airport travelers should allow extra time and use the Sky Harbor Boulevard entrance from Loop 202.

Restrictions on Guadalupe Road

Guadalupe Road, including the bridge over I-10, will be closed in both directions between Pointe Parkway and Calle Sahuaro from 4 a.m. Monday, July 11, to 8 p.m. Monday, July 25.

The closure is due to a storm drain installation. ADOT said the road and bridge over I-10 will be inaccessible to all users during the next two weeks.

ADOT suggests taking a westbound detour: southbound Kyrene Road to westbound Elliot Road to northbound 48th street to access Guadalupe Road west of the closure; or an eastbound detour: southbound 48th street to eastbound Elliot Road to northbound Kyrene Road to access Guadalupe east of the closure.

According to ADOT, pedestrians and cyclists can use Avenida del Yaqui as a detour instead of Kyrene Road.

The improvement of Sun Circle Trail at the cross of Guadalupe Road is a part of the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project.
