  • The southbound SR 143 on-ramps at McDowell Road, Washington Street, Sky Harbor Boulevard and University Drive.
  • The westbound Loop 202 off-ramp at Sky Harbor Boulevard.

Westbound Loop 202 Detour: Use westbound Loop 202 to eastbound I-10 to access destinations south of the closure.

Eastbound Loop 202 Detour: Use eastbound Loop 202 to southbound Loop 101 to westbound US 60 to access destinations south of the closure.
