Tempe, AZ – Overnight I-10 closures near 48th Street may slow travel this week.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, Interstate 10 will be intermittently closed in both directions between 48th Street and Broadway Road from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 24, and Wednesday, Feb. 25.
Officials said closures will last up to 15 minutes at a time while crews working for Arizona Public Service install new power poles and relocate utility lines above the freeway.
The affected stretch runs through the I-10 interchange near Tempe Diablo Stadium and the Marriott Phoenix Resort Tempe at The Buttes. Drivers traveling between Phoenix and Tempe during overnight hours should expect brief stoppages and consider alternate routes if delays develop.
According to ADOT, work is scheduled during overnight hours to reduce daytime traffic disruption.
The closures may impact late-shift workers, delivery drivers, and students commuting between Phoenix and the ASU Tempe campus area.
Motorists are urged to use caution and allow extra travel time through the corridor during work hours.
