PHOENIX – Heavier afternoon rush hour traffic can be expected Thursday afternoon, Jan. 8, on westbound Interstate 10 in Phoenix as well as the Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway) in Glendale before the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl between the Miami Hurricanes and Ole Miss Rebels.

Fans traveling from the Chandler/Southeast Valley region should consider using westbound/northbound Loop 202 (South Mountain Freeway) to bypass I-10 in the downtown Phoenix area.
