PHOENIX β The weekend has arrived and everyone is ready to get out and explore the Valley.
But before you hit the road this weekend, there are a few closures and detours on Valley roadways you need to be aware of.
The Arizona Department of Transportation recently shared some news on closures on their Twitter feed Friday. Here are a few of the notable reminders.
Don't forget about the Broadway Curve Project
Work on the Broadway Curve Project in the East Valley is expected to continue this weekend. ADOT shared specific closures and detours due to the project online at i10BroadwayCurve.com.
East Valley freeway closure
If you're traveling to the East Valley, there is an important closure to keep in mind. US 60 WB will be closed between Alma School Road and McClintock Drive March 10 through March 13. ADOT said the closure is due to pavement rehabilitation.
Additional closures to keep in mind
Before you take off this weekend, ADOT also reminded drivers about three other closures impacting Valley freeways.
- I-17 SB closed between Cactus and Northern.
- I-17 NB closed between Northern and Yorkshire.
- Loop 303 WB closed between I-17 and Lake Pleasant.

As always, please stay alert and be prepared to slow down and merge safely when approaching and traveling through work zones.
