I-10 drivers to see lane changes after weekend work closes freeway section

Travel to Sky Harbor Airport will be affected by construction Friday night until Monday morning

Posted

Drivers should expect delays this weekend when westbound Interstate 10 is closed between US 60 and I-17 by Sky Harbor Airport, state transportation officials said Wednesday.

The following ramps also will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 2, to 4 a.m. Monday, Aug. 5, due to work on the Boardway Curve improvement project:

  • The ramps from westbound US 60 to westbound I-10.
  •  The southbound State Route 143 ramp to westbound I-10.

In addition, the following ramps will be closed from 8 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday: 

  • The westbound I-10 on-ramps at Elliot, Baseline, Broadway roads and 40th and 32nd streets.
  • The westbound US 60 on-ramps at McClintock Drive, Rural Road and Mill Avenue.

As a detour, drivers may use Loop 202 or US 60 to northbound Loop 101 to westbound Loop 202  to access westbound I-10 beyond the closure, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Drivers heading to the West Valley can bypass the closure by using Loop 202 west and north to connect with I-10 at 59th Avenue. 

Drivers traveling west on I-10 and US 60 heading to Sky Harbor should use northbound Loop 101 to westbound Loop 202 and use the Sky Harbor Boulevard entrance. 

When I-10 reopens, drivers can expect a new lane configuration, ADOT officials said.

The existing lanes between 32nd and 24th streets will be split. There will be a roadway barrier and a work zone with three lanes on each side. Drivers wanting to exit onto I-17 are encouraged to move into the right three lanes before 32nd Street.
