Westbound Interstate 10 will be closed for 24 hours beginning Friday night between State Route 143 and Interstate 17, state transportation officials said.

Crews working on the I-10 Broadway Curve improvement project will be setting up construction zones, installing storm drains and working on overhead signs from 10 p.m. Friday, March 3, until 9 p.m. Saturday, March 4.

These ramps also will be closed:

• The ramp from southbound SR 143 to westbound I-10.
• The HOV ramp from westbound US 60 to westbound I-10.
• The westbound I-10 on-ramps at Elliot, Baseline and Broadway roads and 40th and 32nd streets. 
• The westbound US 60 on-ramp at Mill Avenue. 

Arizona Department of Transportation suggests drivers use northbound SR 143 to westbound Loop 202 to access westbound I-10 beyond the closure. Drivers on westbound US 60 and from other areas of the East Valley should consider using northbound Loop 101 westbound Loop 202 to access westbound I-10 beyond the closure.

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, according to ADOT. 

In addition, transportation officials said, northbound 32nd Street will be closed between I-10 and Elwood Street from 10 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday, March 6, for work zone set up. Use 40th Street instead, they said.
