I-10 Westbound near Phoenix closing this weekend
Arizona Department of Transportation crews will close I-10 Westbound between 35th and 67th avenues west of downtown Phoenix this weekend to allow for paving. The closure will be in effect from 10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 1, through 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 4.
Westbound I-10 travelers going beyond Phoenix are encouraged taking I-8 West at Casa Grande and State Route 85 North from Gila Bend to reenter I-10 in Buckeye.
Both ramps from I-17 to westbound I-10 will be closed, so drivers on I-17 Southbound planning to drive west of Phoenix should take Loop 101 or Loop 303 to connect with I-10.
