Traveling around the Valley this weekend? There are a couple road closures you need to know about.
Latest from ADOT:
Southbound Interstate 17 closed between Thomas Road and Interstate 10 at the “Stack” interchange from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday (June 12) for rubberized asphalt paving. All north- and southbound I-17 ramps connecting to I-10 at the Stack closed. However, the I-10 ramps connecting to I-17 (both directions) will remain open. The northbound I-17 HOV lane between McDowell and Thomas roads closed. DETOUR: Consider alternate southbound routes, including State Route 51 to I-10. Southbound I-17 traffic exiting at Thomas Road can use the southbound frontage road or 19th or 27th avenues, but expect heavy traffic and delays. NOTE: Westbound Thomas Road narrowed to one lane at I-17 for bridge fence replacement.
