PHOENIX — From the West Valley to the East Valley, Arizona Department of Transportation crews have work planned all over.
However, according to the press release on their website - it could be postponed due the rain expected Friday night into Saturday.
Right now, here are the current projects planned and the closures you should watch for from ADOT:
- Westbound Interstate 10 closed between 83rd and 99th avenues from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday (Feb. 24) for work to expand traffic capacity by extending a right travel lane beyond the Loop 101 interchange. The northbound Loop 202 (South Mountain Freeway) ramp to westbound I-10 closed. Westbound I-10 on-ramps at 67th and 75th avenues closed. DETOUR: Avoid closure if possible by using alternate routes, including westbound and southbound Loop 101 in West Valley. Westbound I-10 traffic exiting at 83rd Avenue will use detour that includes westbound frontage road between 91st and 99th avenues. Note: Westbound I-10 drivers from the Tucson/Casa Grande region traveling beyond Phoenix area can consider using westbound I-8 to northbound SR 85 to avoid closure.
- Interstate 17 closed in both directions at Happy Valley Road from 10 p.m. Friday to 10 p.m. Sunday (Feb. 23) for removal of old Happy Valley Road bridge over freeway. Happy Valley Road also closed in both directions at I-17. DETOUR: I-17 traffic will detour along the off- and on-ramps at Happy Valley Road. Consider other alternate routes that include exiting ahead of the closure and using 19th Avenue in either direction between Deer Valley and Jomax roads. Use 19th Avenue to access business area east of I-17 along Happy Valley Road. Note: Happy Valley Road traffic will be switched after closures to the first half of the new bridge being constructed over I-17.
