Arizona Department of Transportation has scheduled multiple freeway closures across the Phoenix area this weekend for improvement projects. Southbound State Route 51 will close between Indian School Road and Interstate 10 from 9 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Monday, June 1, for pavement improvements. Southbound on-ramps at Glendale Avenue, Bethany Home Road, and Highland Avenue will also be closed. Northbound Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway) will close between the I-10 interchange and Indian School Road during the same timeframe for an interchange improvement project.
Drivers should allow extra travel time and use designated detour routes. For SR 51 southbound traffic, ADOT recommends using Seventh and 24th streets or considering southbound Interstate 17 as an alternate route to downtown Phoenix and Sky Harbor Airport. For Loop 101 northbound, drivers can use 91st or 99th avenues to reach the freeway via Indian School Road or routes farther north.
