Crews will be setting up work zones this weekend for the Broadway Curve improvement project, forcing the closure of SR 143 between I-10 and University Drive, state transportation officials said Wednesday.

The stretch will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 4, to 4 a.m. Monday, Nov. 5, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

The following ramps will be closed:

• The westbound I-10 ramp to northbound SR 143.
• Northbound 48th Street between Broadway Road and I-10. 

Northbound SR 143 detour: Use westbound I-10 to eastbound Loop 202 to access SR 143 and other destinations north of the closure.

Motorists traveling westbound on I-10 and US 60 heading to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport can stay on westbound I-10 and use the airport entrances at 24th Street or Buckeye Road or use the Sky Harbor Boulevard entrance from the Loop 202, ADOT officials said.

Eastbound I-10 to northbound SR 143 detour: Use Broadway Road to northbound Priest Drive, to westbound University Drive to access SR 143 and other destinations north of the closure. 

ADOT officials also said when northbound SR 143 reopens on Monday, drivers will use temporary travel lanes until mid-2023. The existing northbound SR 143 roadway between I-10 and University Drive will be closed.
