Phoenix, AZ – The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has announced that several freeways in the Phoenix area will be closed or restricted this weekend due to ongoing improvement projects. Drivers are advised to plan alternate routes and allow for extra travel time.
The closures will impact various sections of U.S. 60, Interstate 17, Interstate 10, and Loop 303. ADOT is urging drivers to slow down, merge safely, and be prepared for traffic delays in construction zones.
One of the major closures will take place on the westbound US 60 between Loop 101 and I-10 where pavement work will be conducted. This stretch will be closed from 9pm on Friday, July 21 to 5am on Monday, July 24.
In addition, southbound I-17 will experience closures between Pinnacle Peak Road and Loop 101 for a pavement improvement project. The closure will occur from 9pm on Friday, July 21 to 5am on Monday, July 24.

Similarly, westbound I-10 will be closed between I-17 and 7th Avenue for tunnel maintenance; this closure will be in effect from 9pm on Saturday, July 22 to 9am on Sunday, July 23.
