PHOENIX — Fall temperatures are slowly making their way to the Valley and everyone is eager to get out, visit the outdoors and enjoy the cooler temperatures.
But before you hit the road, there are a few closures and detours on Valley roadways you need to be aware of. Large portions of Interstate 10 and Interstate 17 will be closed off to drivers.
The Arizona Department of Transportation recently shared some news on closures on their Twitter feed. Here are a few notable reminders.
Broadway Curve Project
Work on the Broadway Curve Project in the East Valley is expected to continue this weekend. I-10 WB will be closed between US 60 and Loop 202 due to the project. The closure is expected to last from 10 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday. ADOT shared specific closures and detours due to the project online at i10BroadwayCurve.com.

If you're traveling to the East Valley, there is an important closure to keep in mind. Westbound US 60 will be closed at Greenfield Road from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday due to bridge work. You will need to use side streets to get around that area.
