Motorists in Phoenix should prepare for significant changes to their usual route as the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) plans to close westbound I-10 between SR 143 and I-17. This closure is part of the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project, set from 10 p.m. on Friday, April 4, to 10 p.m. Saturday, April 5. During this period, the southbound SR 143 ramp to westbound I-10 will also be inaccessible.
Further closures include the westbound I-10 on-ramps at 40th and 32nd streets from 8 p.m. April 4 until 10 p.m. April 5. Additionally, the westbound I-10 on-ramp at Broadway Road and the westbound US 60 on-ramp at Mill Avenue will both be closed from 8 p.m. April 4 to 4 a.m. April 7. Motorists are advised to detour via eastbound US 60 to northbound Loop 101, transitioning to westbound Loop 202 to reach westbound I-10 past the closure area.
ADOT emphasizes, "The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to use designated detours when there are closures on state highways. Schedules can quickly change because of weather and other unforeseen situations."
Motorists are encouraged to stay informed by downloading the Interstate 10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project’s mobile app, TheCurve, or checking the Alerts section of the project website.
The I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project is part of the Regional Transportation Plan by the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG), funded by a half-cent sales tax approved by Maricopa County voters in 2004 through Proposition 400. According to MAG, this project aims to "reduce travel times on I-10 during peak hours; improve airport access; support ridesharing and transit; and prepare the region for future growth projections."
