Drivers in most parts of the Valley should prepare for detours and lane restrictions if they are using Valley freeways to get around.

Here is what the Arizona Department of Transportation has planned from Friday night, May 17, to Monday morning, May 20:

• Northbound I-17 will be closed between Loop 303 and State Route 74 in north Phoenix from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday for pavement improvement work.

Eastbound Loop 303 will be closed at I-17 (right turns only to southbound I-17). Detour: Northbound I-17 traffic will detour on the northbound frontage road between Loop 303 and SR 74. Use the posted detour and avoid using local streets, including North Valley Parkway. High-country travelers: Consider driving before the closure begins late Friday night. Traffic is also lighter during early morning or late evening times.

• Northbound Loop 101 will be closed between US 60 and Loop 202 from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday for pavement improvement work.

Northbound Loop 101 on-ramps at Warner, Elliot and Guadalupe roads also closed. Detour: Consider detouring onto US 60 or using northbound Dobson Road or McClintock Drive. Note: Southbound Loop 202 ramp to eastbound US 60 in east Mesa also will be closed from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday for bridge maintenance.

• Westbound I-10 will be closed between I-17 (“Split” Interchange) near Sky Harbor Airport and Seventh Avenue from 9 p.m. Saturday to 9 a.m. Sunday for scheduled tunnel maintenance.

The southbound SR 51 ramp to westbound I-10 will be closed. The westbound Loop 202 ramp to westbound I-10 will remain open, but traffic must exit I-10 at Seventh Street. The southbound I-17 ramp to westbound I-10 near Sky Harbor Airport will be closed.
