The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers who travel through central Phoenix on westbound Interstate 10 to plan ahead to use alternate routes this weekend while the freeway is closed for scheduled inspections at the Deck Park Tunnel. ADOT advises drivers to allow extra travel time while the following closures are in place:
- Westbound I-10 will be closed between the State Route 51/Loop 202 “Mini Stack” interchange and Seventh Avenue from 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 22, to 9 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 24. The southbound SR 51 and westbound Loop 202 ramps to westbound I-10 at the Mini Stack will also be closed.
Detour: Westbound I-10 traffic can detour to northbound I-17 starting near Sky Harbor Airport and reconnect with I-10 at the Stack interchange north of Van Buren Street. Westbound I-10 ramps to northbound SR 51 and eastbound Loop 202 will remain open. Traffic using the westbound Sky Harbor Boulevard ramp to westbound I-10 will be limited to access to northbound SR 51 or eastbound Loop 202. Note: State Fair traffic from the East Valley can use northbound I-17 starting near Sky Harbor Airport to reach northbound 19th Avenue or plan on exiting westbound Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) ahead of the I-10 closure (32nd or 24th streets) and using westbound McDowell or Thomas roads to approach the fairgrounds.
ADOT advises drivers to slow down and use caution around construction personnel and equipment while work is underway.
