Lane restrictions on I-10 west of Phoenix this week

PHOENIX – Drivers on Interstate 10 should expect delays this week in the Harquahala Valley area west of Phoenix while Arizona Department of Transportation crews complete a pavement preservation project.

I-10 will be narrowed to one lane in each direction from 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. through Thursday between mileposts 63 and 70. Drivers should expect a reduced speed limit and delays during those hours.

Crews will be coating the roadway surface with a thin oil that seals cracks, rejuvenates the asphalt and prevents further cracking to extend the life of pavement. They will return later this spring after the oil has cured to re-stripe the roadway.

ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions and closures, but weather or other factors can affect project schedules.
