PHOENIX — We're inching closer to the end of summer. But before the extreme heat ends, we've got a few more warm weekends ahead of us. It's a great time to get out for a road trip.
But before you hit the road, there are a few closures and detours on Valley roadways you need to be aware of. Parts of Interstate 10 and US 60 will be closed.
The Arizona Department of Transportation recently shared some news on closures on their X (formerly Twitter) feed. Here are a few notable reminders.
