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 late 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 are scheduled to reopen on Saturday, March 14. The westbound Litchfield Road off-ramp and the westbound Dysart Road on-ramp at I-10 will continue for the next several weeks. 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 as construction of the new median lanes between Sarival Avenue and Loop 101 (Aqua Fria Freeway) nears completion. 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. For additional safety tips.
