Maricopa County, Arizona – Nightly lane restrictions on Interstate 10 through the Wild Horse Pass corridor are expected to slow traffic between Chandler and Casa Blanca Road through Friday, March 6.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, multiple construction projects will reduce traffic to one lane in both directions at different times throughout the week.
Westbound I-10 will be restricted to one lane from State Route 387/Pinal Avenue and State Route 187 to Gas Line Road (mileposts 185–177) nightly from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., beginning Sunday, March 1, and continuing through Friday, March 6, for earthwork.
Eastbound I-10 will be narrowed to one lane near Gas Line Road (mileposts 185–187) from 8 p.m. Thursday, March 5, to 5 a.m. Friday, March 6, also for earthwork.
Additional westbound restrictions between Gas Line Road and the Gila River bridge (milepost 173) will occur nightly from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., starting Tuesday, March 3, through Friday, March 6, for guardrail installation, striping and paving.
ADOT advises drivers to plan for delays and allow extra travel time. The corridor connects Phoenix-area commuters with Pinal County and southern Arizona destinations.
The overnight closures may particularly affect late-shift workers, freight carriers and students traveling between Chandler and Maricopa.
