Buckeye, Arizona – Morning commuters in the West Valley are facing significant delays Tuesday after a crash forced the full closure of eastbound Interstate 10 near Verrado Way, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
According to ADOT, all eastbound lanes of I-10 were shut down at Verrado Way around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, January 20, following a crash. Officials said there is no estimated time for reopening, and drivers should expect extended delays as traffic continues to back up.
Traffic camera images from the scene show long lines of vehicles, including commercial trucks, stopped along the eastbound lanes as electronic message boards warn that all lanes are blocked ahead. The closure is affecting travel through Buckeye in Maricopa County, a key corridor connecting the West Valley to the greater Phoenix metro area.
ADOT has not released details on injuries or the number of vehicles involved. The incident remains under investigation, and cleanup efforts were ongoing as of Tuesday morning.
Drivers are urged to avoid the area if possible and seek alternate routes. Real-time traffic conditions and detour information are available through ADOT’s Arizona Traveler Information system at az511.gov, on the AZ511 mobile app, or by calling 511.
Motorists traveling eastbound through the West Valley should plan for extra travel time and monitor updates before heading out, especially during the busy morning commute.
