Crews will be working on the Broadway Curve improvement project this weekend and that will require a road closure along with ramps being shut down to traffic, state transportation officials said.

The work will take place from 10 p.m. Friday, Jan. 26, through 4 a.m. Monday, Jan. 29, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Drivers should expect to use detours as the southbound SR 143 ramp to eastbound I-10 will be closed.

At the same time, the following will be closed:

• Broadway Road in both directions between 48th and 52nd streets.
• The eastbound I-10 on ramp at Broadway Road.
• The connector ramp between 48th Street and Broadway Road.

Eastbound I-10 detour: Use southbound SR 143/48th Street to westbound Broadway Road to northbound 40th Street to access eastbound I-10. 

Westbound Broadway Road detour: Use westbound I-10 to southbound 40th Street to access eastbound I-10 and Broadway Road west of the closure.

Eastbound Broadway Road detour: Use southbound 48th Street to eastbound Southern Avenue to northbound Priest Drive to access Broadway Road east of the closure.
