Interstate 10 in Phoenix will experience overnight closures near the Broadway Curve this week due to utility work by Arizona Public Service (APS). The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) announced that drivers should expect intermittent closures lasting up to 15 minutes each along both eastbound and westbound I-10 between 48th Street and Broadway Road. These closures are scheduled from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, ending early Thursday.
APS crews are set to install power poles and move lines above the freeway during these hours. ADOT advises motorists to allow extra travel time in the area and be prepared for slowing or stopped traffic at times.
