Freeway work crews plan to complete the resurfacing of Interstate 10
near Sky Harbor Airport with quiet rubberized asphalt this weekend (June
8-11). The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) says the
following freeway restrictions are scheduled for the rubberized asphalt
paving and other projects: 

 	Westbound Interstate 10 narrowed to one lane (carpool lane)
between Baseline Road and Southern Avenue and westbound US 60 narrowed
to two lanes between Priest Drive and I-10 from 3 a.m. Saturday to 5
a.m. Sunday (June 10) for rubberized asphalt paving. Westbound I-10 ramp
to northbound I-17 at the "Split" near Sky Harbor Airport also closed
from 9 p.m. Friday to 3 p.m. Saturday (June 9) for rubberized asphalt
paving. East Valley drivers can use northbound Loop 101 and westbound
Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) as an alternate route to avoid
anticipated traffic backups along westbound I-10.
 	Westbound US 60 (Superstition Freeway) narrowed to three lanes
between Higley Road and 24th Street from 9 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m.
Saturday (June 9) for lane striping work. Westbound US 60 on and
off-ramps between Higley and Val Vista also closed. Higley Road narrowed
to one lane in each direction between Hampton and Inverness avenues from
10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday (June 11) for bridge work. Westbound US
60 off-ramp and eastbound on-ramp at Higley also closed. Use Greenfield
Road as alternate north-south route. 

 	Southbound Interstate 17 narrowed to two lanes between Yorkshire
Drive and Peoria Avenue from 9 p.m. Saturday to 5 a.m. Sunday (June 10)
for maintenance work. Northbound I-17 narrowed to two lanes between

(June 11) for maintenance work. Drivers should be prepared to slow down
and merge safely approaching the work zones during these overnight
restrictions.
