Westbound Interstate 10 will be closed this weekend between US 60 and 32 Street as workers conduct traffic shifts to prepare for the opening of the new Broadway Road bridge, state transportation officials said.

Detours will be in place from 10 p.m. Friday, March 31, until 4 a.m. Monday, April 3, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

The following ramps will be closed:

• The ramps from westbound US 60 to westbound I-10.
• The ramp from southbound SR 143 to westbound I-10.
• The westbound I-10 on-ramps at Elliot, Baseline and Broadway roads and 40th Street.
• The westbound US 60 on-ramps at McClintock Drive, Rural Road and Mill Avenue.
• The eastbound I-10 on-ramp at Broadway Road.  

ADOT advises drivers to use eastbound Loop 202 or eastbound US 60 to northbound Loop 101 to westbound Loop 202 to access westbound I-10. 

Drivers heading to the West Valley can bypass the work zone by using Loop 202 west and north to connect with I-10 at 59th Avenue.

Motorists traveling westbound on I-10 and US 60 heading to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport should head northbound on Loop 101to westbound Loop 202 and use the Sky Harbor Boulevard entrance from Loop 202, according to ADOT.

Drivers will begin using the new Broadway Road bridge over I-10 when westbound I-10 reopens on Monday, April 3. The existing Broadway Road bridge will be permanently closed and eventually removed, transportation officials said.
