Weekend freeway work will affect drivers along eastbound I-10 in the Goodyear-Buckeye area, and state transportation officials also said travelers should allow extra time heading to Sky Harbor Airport due to road and ramp closures.

Here is what’s scheduled along Valley freeways Friday night, Sept. 29, until Monday morning, Oct. 2:

  • Eastbound Interstate 10 will be closed between Loop 303 and Dysart Road in the West Valley from 11 p.m. Friday to 2 p.m. Saturday for pavement sealing. 

North- and southbound Loop 303 ramps to eastbound I-10 will be closed. The eastbound I-10 on-ramp at Perryville Road/187th Avenue also will be  closed. Detours: Consider exiting ahead of the closure and using eastbound Van Buren Street or McDowell Road to Dysart Road to reconnect with I-10. Primary detours will be signed, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. Eastbound MC 85 is another detour option. Southbound Loop 303 drivers can exit at Indian School or Thomas roads and use southbound Cotton Lane to eastbound McDowell Road. Traffic on northbound Cotton Lane/Loop 303 can exit to eastbound Van Buren Street (to travel beyond closure). Note: Crews will reopen sections of I-10 as the pavement sealing work progresses on Saturday.

  • Eastbound I-10 will be closed between Verrado Way and Loop 303 from 11 p.m. Saturday to 2 p.m. Sunday for pavement sealing.

Detours: Eastbound I-10 traffic exiting at Verrado Way will travel south to eastbound Yuma Road and can use northbound Cotton Lane to access eastbound I-10 beyond closure. Eastbound MC 85 is another detour option. Note: Crews will reopen sections of I-10 as the pavement sealing work progresses on Sunday.

  • Southbound State Route 143 will be closed between Loop 202 and I-10 from 10 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday for traffic shifting as part of the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project. 

The westbound Loop 202 ramp to Sky Harbor Boulevard (airport exit) will be closed. Detours: Consider using westbound Loop 202 to eastbound I-10 (at the SR 51 Mini-Stack) or eastbound Loop 202 to southbound Loop 101 and westbound US 60. For airport access from Loop 202, consider using southbound 44th Street. 

 The westbound I-10 ramp to northbound SR 143 will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday for a traffic shift.

Sky Harbor Airport traffic can exit westbound I-10 at 24th Street or Buckeye Road. The westbound I-10 on-ramp at Broadway Road will be closed. Detour to the westbound I-10 on-ramp at 40th Street.
