Drivers in Tempe should be prepared for detours this weekend if they plan to  travel along a section of Broadway Road.

The Arizona Department of Transportation has announced Broadway Road in Tempe will be closed in both directions between 55th and 48th streets from 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 5, to 4 a.m. Monday, Aug. 8.

At the same time, the eastbound Interstate 10 connector ramp between 48th Street and Broadway Road and the I-10 on- and off- ramps at Broadway Road will be closed.

Drivers will not be able to access Broadway Road from 52nd Street and will need to use southbound SR 143/48th Street or Priest Drive from University Drive to access Broadway Road, according to ADOT.

Over the weekend, crews with the I-10 Broadway Curve improvement project will complete a temporary on-ramp from Broadway Road to westbound I-10, which will open to drivers Monday morning, Aug. 8.
