PHOENIX — The weekend is here 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. 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 closure
Work on the Broadway Curve Project in the East Valley is expected to continue this weekend. I-10 EB will be closed between the Mini-Stack and Baseline Road due to the project. 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 EB will be closed between Mesa and Val Vista. You will need to use side streets to get around that area.
North Valley freeway closure
I-17 SB is expected to be closed between Loop 101 and Thunderbird. Plan your travel accordingly.
