The following ramps will be closed:

  • Loop 101 ramps to I-17 SB
  • I-17 SB on-ramps at Rose Garden Lane and between Pinnacle Peak and Deer Valley Road

The westbound lanes of Thunderbird Road will be closed between the I-17 northbound frontage road and the Metro North Corporate Park Road from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday.

Alternate routes: ADOT recommends using surface streets like Cactus or Greenway Road.

Additionally, the I-17 southbound off-ramp and frontage road between Acoma Drive and Thunderbird Road will be closed from Nov. 11 to Spring 2023 for a drainage project.

I-10

Interstate 10 will be restricted to one lane in both directions between Loop 202 Santan and Riggs Road from 11:30 p.m. Friday to 8 p.m. Saturday, as well as from 11:30 p.m. Saturday to 8 p.m. Sunday for pavement work.

All ramps connecting I-10 and Loop 202 will be closed intermittently on Saturday, but officials say they will reopen whenever the pavement sealant dries.
