PHOENIX — Road improvement projects will force closures on Valley freeways for last weekend of October, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. Drivers should plan detour routes and factor in extra travel time while the freeway closures are in place.
Eastbound Interstate 10 closed between the State Route 51 “Mini-Stack” and US 60 (Superstition Freeway) from 10 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday (Oct. 30) for work zone setup and lane adjustments as part of the Broadway Curve Improvement Project.
Detours:
- Eastbound I-10 drivers can consider using eastbound Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) starting near SR 51 to reach southbound Loop 101 before using westbound US 60 or westbound Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) to reach I-10.
- Drivers in the West Valley also can consider using southbound/eastbound Loop 202 (South Mountain Freeway) to avoid the eastbound I-10 closure.

- Southbound I-17 on-ramps at Seventh Avenue and Seventh Street closed.
Note: Following this weekend’s work the eastbound I-10 lanes will be divided (shifted) by a new work zone between 48th Street and Broadway Road (two lanes to the left and three lanes to the right of the work zone).
Westbound US 60 (Superstition Freeway) closed between Power and Greenfield roads from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday (Oct. 30) for bridge work.
