UPDATE FROM ADOT: The Interstate 10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project team has postponed this weekend’s eastbound I-10 closure between US 60 and Loop 202 because of the unanticipated closure of US 60 in Tempe.The eastbound I-10 closure was originally set to begin at 8 p.m. tonight and continue through early Monday morning. Work that was scheduled to occur during the eastbound I-10 closure will be rescheduled for a later date.
Also postponed: sign replacement work on eastbound I-10 that required narrowing it to two lanes between the US 60 and Guadalupe Road through 8 p.m. tonight.
Work that began on westbound I-10 between Loop 202 and US 60 late Friday will continue, and that closure currently remains in place.
