Below is the list of planned closures from ADOT:

Westbound I-10 on-ramps at Elliot and Baseline roads also closed. Westbound US 60 on-ramps at McClintock Drive, Rural Road and Mill Avenue closed (expect ramp closures to start at 8 p.m. Friday). Detours: Drivers can consider using eastbound Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) or eastbound US 60 to northbound Loop 101 (Price Freeway) before using westbound Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) in Tempe to reach Sky Harbor Airport or the downtown Phoenix area. Drivers in the southeast Valley also can consider using westbound/northbound Loop 202 (South Mountain Freeway) to avoid the closure and reach I-10 near 59th Avenue in the West Valley. Note: Broadway Road closed between 48th and 55th streets (over I-10) and 40th Street closed at I-10 from 8 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday (Oct. 21).

The I-10 ramps to southbound I-17 at the “Stack” interchange (south of McDowell Road) will be closed. Detour: Consider alternate routes including eastbound Loop 101 to southbound State Route 51. Note: Crews will reopen southbound I-17 in sections while the pavement sealing work progresses on Saturday. Schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather.
  • Northbound I-17 closed between the I-10 “Split” interchange near Sky Harbor Airport and Peoria Avenue from 9 p.m. Saturday to 2 p.m. Sunday (Oct. 20) for pavement sealing. The I-10 ramps to northbound I-17 at the “Stack” interchange will be closed. Detour: Consider alternate routes including northbound State Route 51 to westbound Loop 101.

  • Northbound Loop 101 (Pima Freeway) closed between Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard and Pima Road/Princess Drive from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday (Oct. 21) for bridge work. Northbound Loop 101 on-ramps at Cactus Road and Raintree Drive closed. Detour: Traffic will detour along the northbound Loop 101 frontage road and re-enter the freeway at Pima Road. Consider other alternate routes.

Freeway traffic exiting at 51st Avenue will be the Beardsley frontage road. Expect delays and allow extra travel time.
  • Southbound I-17 narrowed to one lane during mostly overnight hours between State Route 74/Carefree Highway and Loop 303 from 9 p.m. Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday (Oct. 19); from 9 p.m. Saturday to 9 a.m. Sunday (Oct. 20); and from 9 p.m. Sunday to 5 a.m. Monday (Oct. 21) for pavement improvements.
