PHOENIX (AZFamily) – Construction projects will close several major highways, impacting motorists planning to travel to and from the East Valley this weekend.

According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, a portion of US 60, Loop 202 (Red Mountain and Santan) and I-17 will be closed as crews continue improvement projects.

I-17 southbound closed between Peoria and Dunlap Avenue from 10 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday due to construction on Valley Metro’s light rail bridge over the highway.

In addition, westbound I-10 will be narrowed to two lanes between the Loop 202 Santan and Elliot Road from 10 p.m. Saturday to 4 a.m. Monday for pavement marking.

For those looking to head north this weekend to see snow in the High Country, travel north will not be affected by any closures. However, southbound I-17 is narrowed to one lane between Carefree Highway and the Loop 303 primarily at night.

ADOT says you should not use local streets or neighborhoods to get around I-17 construction.

For East Valley drivers needing to get to the airport or downtown Phoenix, ADOT recommends using Loop 101 northbound to Loop 202 Red Mountain westbound. If you need to bypass the eastbound US 60 closure, use Loop 202 Santan in Chandler to northbound Loop 101 Price to hop back on US 60.
