State transportation officials announced Monday there will be no scheduled closures along Valley freeways for two weeks to accommodate the Super Bowl and related events.

The delay in full closures will begin Wednesday, Feb. 1, and last until Wednesday, Feb. 15, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

“While improvement project work can continue, ADOT has worked with its contractors and called a timeout on any full freeway closures in the Phoenix area,” ADOT officials said.

The move is designed to limit travel issues for Super Bowl and other special event-related traffic, including the Waste Management Phoenix Open in north Scottsdale and football-related shows and concerts throughout the Valley.

“We don’t want fans, volunteers and workers to be sidelined in getting to where they need or want to be during the events ahead of the big game,” Randy Everett, ADOT central district administrator, said.

“Our teams can focus on work away from the pavement. But whether you’re a visitor or local resident, we want to avoid conflicts with our ongoing improvement projects.”

However, there may be cases where overnight lane or ramp restrictions with limited effects on traffic may be scheduled in areas away from special events, according to ADOT.
