Improvement projects will require closures along stretches of Phoenix-area freeways this weekend, July 12-15, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT).
ADOT recommends drivers allow extra travel time and plan to use detour routes while the following freeway restrictions are in place:
-
Northbound Loop 101 (Price Freeway) closed between Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) in Chandler and US 60 (Superstition Freeway) in Tempe from 9 p.m. Friday, July 12 to 5 a.m. Monday, July 15 for a pavement improvement project. Detours: Consider using westbound Interstate 10 and eastbound US 60 as an alternate freeway route to reach northbound Loop 101.
-
Southbound Interstate 17 closed at Jomax Road from 9 p.m. Friday, July 12 to 5 a.m. Monday, July 15 for a pavement improvement project, with traffic detouring on Jomax Road off- and on-ramps. Southbound I-17 also narrowed to one lane between Loop 303/Sonoran Desert Drive and Jomax Road. East- and westbound Jomax Road will be closed at I-17. Allow extra travel time and be prepared for merging traffic. Note: Avoid detouring on streets east of I-17 that are designed for local traffic.
Schedules are subject to change due to inclement weather or other factors. ADOT plans and constructs new freeways, additional lanes and other improvements in the Phoenix area as part of the Regional Transportation Plan for the Maricopa County region. Most projects are funded in part by Proposition 400, a dedicated sales tax approved by Maricopa County voters in 2004.
Real-time highway conditions are available on ADOT’s Arizona Traveler Information site at az511.gov, the az511 app or by calling 511.
