Phoenix weekend road closures: Restrictions on US 60, I-10 and other freeways
Restrictions include a closure of the westbound U.S. 60 (Superstition Freeway) in Tempe and closures of Interstate 10 in the West Valley.
ADOT urged motorists to allow for extra travel time and to plan on using detour routes. Drivers should also double-check the timing of the closures.
Traffic restrictions are subject to change due to inclement weather and other factors, ADOT said. For real-time highway conditions, drivers should check az511.gov, the az511 app or call 511.
Here are the freeway closures for March 21 through March 24.
The westbound lanes of I-10 will be closed between 35th and 83rd avenues from 9 p.m. Friday to 2 p.m. Saturday for pavement sealing, while both Interstate 17 ramps to westbound I-10 at the Stack interchange will also be closed.
The northbound Loop 202 (South Mountain Freeway) ramp to westbound I-10 will also be closed during this time. ADOT suggested using the westbound lanes on Van Buren Street to the northbound lanes of 83rd Avenue instead.
The westbound I-10 on-ramp at 27th Avenue will also be closed.
Detour: Motorists in the area should consider exiting ahead of the closure and using alternate routes. Westbound I-10 traffic exiting at 35th Avenue can instead go north to westbound McDowell Road and re-enter I-10 past the closure.
The eastbound lanes on I-10 will be closed between 83rd and 35th avenues from 9 p.m. Saturday to 2 p.m. Sunday for pavement sealing, while the northbound Loop 202 ramps to the eastbound lanes of I-10 will be closed. Drivers can instead go east Van Buren Street to northbound 35th Avenue.
The southbound Loop 101 ramp to the eastbound lanes of I-10 will be closed as will the eastbound I-10 on-ramp at 91st Avenue.
Detour: Drivers should consider exiting I-10 ahead of the closure and use alternate routes while those exiting at 83rd Avenue can detour north to eastbound McDowell Road and re-enter I-10 past the closure.
U.S. 60's westbound lanes will be closed between Loop 101 and I-10 from 8 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday for a traffic shift as part of the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project, according to ADOT.
The westbound U.S. 60 on-ramps at Country Club Drive, Alma School Road and Dobson Road will also be closed.
Detour: Motorists can use the northbound lanes on Loop 101 to westbound Loop 202 to reach Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and downtown Phoenix. Drivers can also use the southbound lanes on Loop 101 to the westbound lanes on Loop 202 in Chandler to reach the I-10.
Northbound lanes on SR 143 will be closed between I-10 and Loop 202 near Sky Harbor Airport from 10 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday for construction, ADOT said. Northbound lanes on 48th Street will be closed between Broadway Road and I-10.
Detour: Drivers going west on I-10 can continue west to reach Sky Harbor Airport or head east on Loop 202 to access the southbound lanes of State Route 143.
Note: Some ramp/street closures start at 8 p.m. Friday.
The westbound lanes on I-10 will be narrowed to three lanes between U.S. 60 and 32nd Street from 10 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday for construction as part of the Broadway Curve Improvement Project. Additionally, the westbound I-10 ramp to eastbound U.S. 60 will be closed along with the westbound I-10 on-ramp at Baseline Road and westbound off-ramp at Broadway Road.

Mandatory evacuation orders in effect as 1,000-acre wildfire threatens Grand Canyon's North Rim
The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is temporarily closed as mandatory evacuation orders remain in effect due to a wildfire near the park. The White Sage Fire, near Jacob Lake, prompted the National Park Service to evacuate all North Rim visitors "immediately" on Thursday night. As of Thursday night, the fire had burned about 1,000 acres and remains active with no containment, according to a report from the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Officials on Friday advised hikers not to enter the Grand Canyon, noting there was extreme heat and wildfire smoke inside the canyon. The BLM said smoke was reported Wednesday night after a thunderstorm rolled through the White Sage area. Two single-engine air tankers based in Mesquite delivered fire retardant to assist with initial suppression efforts before dark, according to the report. Crews worked through the night, making progress on the south, east and northeast flanks. Air attack arrived on scene Thursday and aircraft continued to support ground crews, officials said. A Complex Incident Management Team was ordered. Highway 89A to Fredonia is closed in both directions at mile marker 595 due to the fire, with no estimated reopening time, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. Highway 89A east to Page remains open, according to the park service.

Map Shows Arizona Rail Project After Federal Approval
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Plans for a passenger rail line connecting Phoenix and Tucson advanced this week after the Federal Railroad Administration approved the Arizona Department of Transportation's (ADOT) first submission. The approval allows ADOT to begin work on a planning document that will outline details such as potential station locations, infrastructure needs, and funding requirements. Newsweek contacted ADOT for an update on the project via email. Why It Matters The route is intended to provide another option for travelers between Phoenix and Tucson, which are currently linked by the Interstate 10 highway. ADOT stated that the plan could offer improved travel reliability and reduce road traffic. What To Know The rail corridor, running approximately 160 miles from Buckeye in the Phoenix area to Tucson, was first proposed in 2016. Recent developments have built on that proposal with updated studies and technical assessments. The approval of ADOT's early-stage proposal now allows the agency to move ahead with its Service Development Plan, which will take two to three years to complete, according to the state of Arizona. This part will include ridership estimates, projected costs, and timelines. To complete the Service Development Plan, ADOT has an approved budget of $10.6 million budget. Governor Katie Hobbs has committed $3.5 million to the project. A map of the proposed rail corridor between Tucson and Phoenix, in Arizona.

ADOT Completion of this phase will allow the state to enter the next round of project work, which includes environmental reviews and engineering studies. The project may share existing Union Pacific Railroad tracks with a separate passenger rail initiative being studied by Amtrak. While the two services are distinct, coordination is expected during the development process. What People Are Saying Governor Katie Hobbs said in a statement: "This is a big step forward for Arizona. I am committed to creating a bright transportation future for our state that fosters economic growth, creates jobs and expands transit opportunities for working people and families." The Arizona Department of Transportation in a report on the project: "This project represents an alternative mode of transportation connecting the state's two largest metropolitan areas to complement vehicular travel on I-10, the one interstate highway linking the two regions. "It's important to note a Phoenix to Tucson passenger rail corridor is not currently funded for implementation. However, this study will provide an important step in determining stakeholder support, service coordination with UPPR and Amtrak, infrastructure needs and project costs to implement this service." What's Next Federal funds are expected to support the development work, pending grant approval, which is expected in the coming weeks. Completion of the Service Development Plan will make way for a third and final step, which includes an engineering and environmental study. This is also expected to take two to three years.

Parts of I-17, Loop 101 closed for weekend roadwork
Not only did metro Phoenix get a break from 100-degree temperatures during the first week of June, but Valley drivers were also expected to encounter few freeway restrictions over the first weekend of the month. Planned closures and lane restrictions for freeway improvement projects in the Phoenix area were limited for the weekend of June 6 through 9. Construction work was confined to portions of Interstate 17 and Loop 101. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, drivers should allow extra travel time and plan on using detour routes as needed when weekend restrictions are in place. ADOT said schedules were subject to change due to weather and other factors. The north- and southbound I-17 ramps to westbound Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway) were scheduled to close beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, June 6, until 5 a.m. on Monday, June 9. ADOT said the closures were for bridge work as part of the Loop 101 widening project. The westbound Loop 101 right lane will be closed near 31st Avenue, which will be closed in both directions at Loop 101. Northbound I-17 detour: Exit at Rose Garden Lane. Southbound I-17 detour: Exit at Deer Valley Road before traveling west to southbound 27th Avenue to access westbound Loop 101. Westbound Loop 101 would be narrowed to two lanes overnight, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., near 51st Avenue on Sunday through Thursday nights, June 8 through 12. The westbound Loop 101 on-ramp at 35th Avenue and off-ramp at 51st Avenue are closed for several weeks for reconstruction. ADOT offers several options for checking whether roads are clear: The Arizona Traveler Information site at allows travelers to map routes and see closures affecting travel time. The AZ511 app for Apple and Android mobile devices is a smartphone-friendly version of the Arizona Traveler Information site. Within Arizona, dialing 511 calls the Arizona Traveler Information line, which offers traffic reports. Just say the route you're driving and the automated system will respond with traffic delay information. If 511 doesn't work from a cell phone, dial 1-888-411-ROAD (7623). If you're outside the U.S., dial 1-520-200-0105. ADOT provides updates on highway conditions via its X feed @ArizonaDOT.
