Motorists should watch for these planned weekend road closures around metro Phoenix starting Sept. 12.
“Drivers should allow extra travel time and plan on using detour routes as needed while the following weekend restrictions are in place,” a statement from the Arizona Department of Transportation read.
Inclement weather or other factors may lead to schedule changes, ADOT said. The department plans and constructs new freeways, additional lanes and other improvements in the Phoenix area as part of the Regional Transportation Plan for the Maricopa County region.
For real-time highway conditions, drivers should check az511.gov, the az511 app or call 511.
