Plan on westbound I-10 and southbound Loop 101 closures in East Valley

PHOENIX – Improvement projects will require weekend closures or lane restrictions along stretches of Phoenix-area freeways, including westbound Interstate 10 in the Chandler and Tempe areas. The Arizona Department of Transportation recommends drivers allow extra travel time and consider alternate routes if necessary while the following weekend restrictions are in place May 3-6:

• Westbound I-10 closed between Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) and US 60 (Superstition Freeway) from 10 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday (May 6) for the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project. Westbound I-10 on-ramps at Wild Horse Pass Blvd and Chandler Blvd closed. All Loop 202 ramps to westbound I-10 closed. 
  • Please Note: Westbound I-10 also narrowed to three lanes between Broadway Road and 48th Street. Westbound I-10 on-ramp at Broadway Road closed.
  • Detours: Drivers on westbound I-10 approaching the closure can detour on eastbound Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) in Chandler area and use northbound Loop 101 to either westbound US 60 or westbound Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) to reach I-10 beyond the closure. Drivers traveling to the West Valley can consider using westbound/northbound Loop 202 (South Mountain Freeway). More information: i10BroadwayCurve.com.

Schedules are subject to change due to inclement weather or other factors. ADOT plans and constructs new freeways, additional lanes and other improvements in the Phoenix area as part of the Regional Transportation Plan for the Maricopa County region. Most projects are funded in part by Proposition 400, a dedicated sales tax approved by Maricopa County voters in 2004.
