Phoenix-area freeway closures in effect this weekend

Watch out for closures on I-17, US 60, I-10 and Loop 303 this weekend.

PHOENIX - The Arizona Dept. of Transportation put a hold on freeway projects for the Super Bowl weekend, but they're back again.

Watch out for these closures across the Valley this weekend:

I-17

In north Phoenix, the northbound lanes of Interstate 17 will be shut down between Thunderbird and Union Hills Drive starting at 10 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday.

The following ramps will be closed:

  • I-17 NB on-ramps at Northern, Dunlap, Peoria, Cactus
  • I-17 NB ramps to Loop 101 (both directions)

Alternate routes: ADOT recommends taking SR 51 to Loop 101 westbound to get around the closure. 19th or 35th Avenue can also be used to access Loop 101 or I-17 past the closure.

US 60

The eastbound lanes of US 60 will be shut down between Higley and Loop 202 at the "SuperRedTan" interchange from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday.

The eastbound on-ramps at Val Vista and Greenfield Road will be closed.

Alternate routes: Drivers can take Loop 202 Red Mountain or Santan instead. Surface streets like Baseline Road can be used to get past the closure.

I-10

The eastbound lanes will be closed between US 60 and Loop 202 Santan starting at 10 p.m. Friday until 10 p.m. Saturday.

  • HOV ramps between I-10 and US 60

Alternate routes

  • Taking Loop 202 EB at the I-10/SR 51 Mini-Stack to Loop 101 Price Freeway, then head south to Loop 202 Santan in Chandler. I-10 drivers detouring onto US 60 can also take Loop 101 southbound to Loop 202 to get around.
