It's a busy weekend as far as traffic restrictions go across the Valley!
Improvement projects will narrow lanes and shut down a stretch of Interstate 10, and will also impact Loop 101 and other surface streets connecting you to the Valley freeways, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
This is ADOT's Weekend Freeway Travel Advisory:
- Eastbound Interstate 10 closed between 67th and 35th avenues in west Phoenix from 9 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday (Oct. 28) for work on the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway interchange.

DETOUR: Alternate routes include northbound and eastbound Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway) in the West Valley. Eastbound I-10 drivers also should consider exiting ahead of the closure and using local detour routes, including eastbound Van Buren Street or McDowell Road.

Westbound I-10 ramps to north- and southbound I-17 at the Stack and the eastbound I-10 ramps to northbound SR 51 and eastbound Loop 202 at the Mini-Stack closed overnight from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Saturday (Oct. 26).
