Weekend freeway restrictions in Phoenix area (December 2-4)

 

            If you’re going to be out and about this weekend, the
Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) encourages you to watch for
the following freeway restrictions and use alternate routes to avoid
them:

 

*	Eastbound Interstate 10 will be closed between Washington Street
and the   I-17 “Split” interchange near Sky Harbor Airport from 10 p.m.
Friday to         6 a.m. Saturday (Dec. 3) for overhead sign
installation work.  Eastbound I-10 traffic will exit at Washington
Street, then east on Jefferson Street and south on 24th Street to return
to eastbound I-10.  Drivers on eastbound I-10 also can avoid this
overnight closure by detouring onto southbound I-17 at the Stack
interchange (east of 27th Ave.) and reconnecting with I-10 near Sky
Harbor Airport.

 

*	Eastbound Interstate 10 will be closed between Interstate 17
“Stack” interchange and I-17 “Split” interchange near Sky Harbor Airport
from 11 p.m. Saturday to 9 a.m. Sunday (Dec. 4) for overhead sign
installation and cleaning inside the Deck Park Tunnel.  Sky Harbor
Airport traffic should use Jefferson to 24th Street as an alternate
route.

 

*	The right lane of northbound Interstate 17 will be closed
between Adams Street and Interstate 10 from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday
(Dec. 3) for guardrail repair work.  The northbound I-17 ramps to east
and westbound I-10 (at the Stack interchange) also will be closed.  The
right lane of southbound I-17 will be closed between McDowell Road and
Van Buren Street (6 a.m.-9 p.m. Saturday).  The southbound I-17 entrance
ramp at McDowell Road will be closed.  Drivers should use nearby
interchanges to detour around the ramp closures.

 

*	The eastbound US 60 (Superstition Freeway) ramp to the
southbound Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) in east Mesa will be closed from 6
a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday (Dec. 3) for construction work.  Drivers should
use southbound Sossaman or Ellsworth roads to Baseline Road as an
alternate route to reach the southbound Loop 202.

 

*	The northbound Interstate 17 exit ramp to Yorkshire Drive will
be closed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday (Dec. 3) for light repair work.
Drivers should use alternate routes, including the exit at Union Hills
Drive, while the Yorkshire Drive ramp is closed.
