Heads up, Phoenix drivers: A significant stretch of northbound SR 143 is scheduled to shut down from I-10 to Loop 202 starting at 10 p.m. this Friday, Jan. 10, until 4 a.m. Monday, Jan. 13. The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) recommends that travelers expect delays and plan their routes due to this closure for a traffic shift. Additionally, closures will affect the northbound SR 143 on-ramp at University Drive and Northbound 48th Street between Broadway Road and I-10.
For those needing to travel westbound on I-10 to northbound SR 143 this weekend, a detour is in place that reroutes traffic to use westbound I-10 to eastbound Loop 202, and then onto southbound SR 143. ADOT advises motorists to use designated detours, and it is worth noting, that schedules are subject to change due to unforeseen factors like weather. Keeping up with the latest updates is crucial, especially ahead of travel - the department has suggested downloading TheCurve app or visiting the project website for real-time alerts, as per the ADOT.
Travelers to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport may be affected by the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project. Alternative routes include westbound I-10 to 24th Street or Buckeye Road and Sky Harbor Boulevard from Loop 202. The project aims to improve traffic flow, and airport access, and support future growth.
