Traveling around the Valley this weekend? Here are several closures around the Phoenix-area from ADOT: 

· Eastbound Interstate 10 closed between the I-17 "Stack" interchange and State Route 51 from 9 p.m. Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday (Aug. 19) for quarterly tunnel cleaning and maintenance. North- and southbound I-17 ramps to eastbound I-10 also closed. DETOUR: Eastbound I-10 traffic will be detoured to southbound I-17 and can reconnect with I-10 near Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

Southbound State Route 51 ramp to westbound I-10 closed. Westbound Loop 202 ramp to westbound I-10 will be open but traffic just exit I-10 at Seventh Street and use alternate routes, including McDowell Road. Traffic using Sky Harbor Airport's west-end ramp will only have access to northbound SR 51 or eastbound Loop 202 (no access to westbound I-10). Southbound I-17 ramp to westbound I-10 near Sky Harbor Airport also closed. DETOUR: Westbound I-10 traffic will be detoured to northbound I-17 at the Split interchange near Sky Harbor and can reconnect with I-10 at the Stack.

Both I-17 off-ramps at Indian School Road closed. DETOUR: Alternate routes include Thomas or Camelback roads. Indian School Road traffic approaching I-17 will be required to make right turns onto frontage roads and can access freeway on-ramps. Note: The pilot I-17 wrong-way vehicle alert system will be installed between I-10 and Loop 101 over the next three months. The system will be fully operational by early 2018.

· Westbound Northern Avenue left turns to southbound I-17 on-ramp not permitted through 5 a.m. Friday (Aug. 25) due to Southwest Gas utility line work.
