Upcoming Restrictions

This week, construction progress continues with scheduled restrictions as part of the Interstate 10 Improvement Project. The current closure at 107th Avenue underneath I-10 continues through mid-March while the westbound I-10 bridge is rebuilt.

The eastbound I-10 Litchfield Road on-ramp and the eastbound I-10 Dysart Road off-ramp closures will continue for the next 2-3 weeks. Because the construction on this first eastbound section of I-10 is ahead of schedule, ADOT has an opportunity to begin work on the westbound I-10 between Litchfield and Dysart roads. In order to minimize future traffic impacts to large events such as NASCAR races at P.I.R. in April and the ongoing spring training in Goodyear, construction on the westbound side of I-10 will overlap with the current ramp closures on the eastbound side for approximately 2-3 weeks.

Beginning Friday, Feb. 27, the westbound Litchfield Road off-ramp and the Dysart Road on-ramp at I-10 will close to reconstruct the existing lanes of I-10 to match the new median lanes. This closure was not taken lightly, and after working with our partners ADOT is confident that the work on these ramps can be completed early. During the ramp closures, Litchfield and Dysart roads will remain open underneath I-10 and business access will be maintained.

The I-10 Improvement Project will soon reach a major milestone when construction of the new median lanes between Sarival Avenue and Loop 101 (Aqua Fria Freeway) enters its next phase. During the next several months, traffic between Estrella/Pebble Creek Parkway and Dysart Road will be moved to the new median lanes as crews begin reconstruction of the existing I-10 lanes, which will require on- and off-ramp closures at times. Drivers are encouraged to use adjacent ramps. Crossroads underneath I-10 and business access will remain open during construction.

Project Information

The I-10 Improvement Project will provide additional lanes between Verrado Way and Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway). The freeway expansion includes widening the existing median and adding outside lanes to improve east/west traffic flow in the West Valley.

This project is one of the first elements of the Regional Transportation Plan and is funded through a voter-approved sales tax to improve and construct new transportation options in Maricopa County through 2025. More information on the Regional Transportation Plan is available at www.ValleyFreeways.com.

ADOT strives to inform the public about planned freeway restrictions. As with any complex construction project, there is a possibility that severe weather or other unforeseen difficulties may result in unscheduled closures or restrictions.

Work Zone Safety

Safety is a vital part of the ongoing construction process. It is important to plan ahead for restrictions and to slow down in the work zone. Drivers and pedestrians are responsible for staying alert and obeying traffic laws; including signage, traffic barricades and flaggers within construction work zones. Most importantly: slow down in the work zones. The speed limit on I-10 has been reduced to 55 mph in work zones for the project duration. The reduced speed limits are intended to protect drivers, passengers and workers in the work zone. Please click here for additional safety tips.
