Bay Area drivers should prepare for detours as the Arizona Department of Transportation has announced significant closures on US 60 affecting both eastbound and westbound traffic. The closures will be in effect on Friday and continue until November 4 due to bridge and signage work related to the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project, as reported by the Arizona Department of Transportation.
Travelers on US 60 westbound will encounter a roadblock from 10 p.m. on Friday until 7 p.m. on Saturday, between Loop 101 and Interstate 10. Expect delays, and the ramps from Loop 101 to westbound US 60 will be closed. To avoid the closure, use southbound Loop 101 to westbound Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) to access eastbound I-10, or northbound Loop 101 to westbound Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) for westbound I-10. For those heading to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, take northbound Loop 101 to westbound Loop 202 and enter via Sky Harbor Boulevard, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
Eastbound traffic on US 60 will be disrupted between I-10 and Mill Avenue from 10 p.m. on Saturday until 4 a.m. on November 4. Drivers heading from eastbound I-10 to eastbound US 60 should take eastbound I-10 to eastbound Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) and then north on Loop 101 (Price Freeway). For westbound I-10 drivers wanting to go east on US 60, the recommended detour is to use eastbound Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) to northbound Loop 101 (Price Freeway) or take northbound SR 143 to eastbound Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) and then south on Loop 101, as stated by the Arizona Department of Transportation.
The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to use detour routes and check for schedule changes due to weather.

These closures are part of the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project, which aims to reduce congestion and improve airport access.
