Sections of three major roads will be closed this weekend in Phoenix and Tempe for pavement improvement projects, affecting several freeway ramps and requiring detours.

The Arizona Department of Transportation announced the following closures from Friday night, July 7, until Monday morning, July 10:

• Eastbound US 60 will be closed between I-10 and Loop 101 from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday for pavement improvements. 

I-10 ramps to eastbound US 60 will be closed. Detours: Consider using eastbound Loop 202 to southbound Loop 101 in Tempe or eastbound Loop 202 to northbound Loop 101 to reach US 60 beyond the work. Drivers also can consider using eastbound Baseline or Broadway roads, ADOT officials said.

Northbound I-17 drivers also can consider exiting ahead of the closure and using northbound 19th Avenue.

• Westbound Loop 202 will be closed between Loop 101 and Van Buren/52nd streets in Phoenix from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday for pavement improvements.
