Detours: Northbound Watson Road traffic can access westbound I-10 by entering eastbound I-10 to Verrado Way and crossing I-10 to use the westbound on-ramp. Southbound Watson Road traffic can access eastbound I-10 by entering westbound I-10 to Miller Road and crossing under I-10 to use the eastbound on-ramp.
- The US 60 intersection at Mountainbrook Drive in the Gold Canyon area will be restricted (no left turns allowed) from 9 p.m. Friday to 11 a.m. Saturday for traffic signal maintenance.
