Maricopa, AZ – Motorists traveling westbound on Interstate 10 through the Wild Horse Pass Corridor should prepare for overnight delays tonight as lane restrictions take effect near the Gila River Bridge.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), a lane restriction will be in place on westbound I-10 at the Gila River Bridge near Milepost 174 beginning at 9 p.m. Wednesday and continuing until 5 a.m. Thursday. The restriction is required to allow crews to perform roadway maintenance in the area.
The impacted stretch of I-10 runs through the Gila River Indian Community, south of Chandler and north of Maricopa, a key corridor for commuters and overnight freight traffic traveling between the Phoenix metro area and southern Arizona.
ADOT officials say drivers should expect slower travel speeds and possible backups during the overnight work window. Motorists are advised to use caution, follow posted signage, and allow extra time to reach their destinations, especially those traveling late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.
No full closures have been announced, but even partial lane restrictions in this corridor can lead to delays due to reduced capacity and limited alternate routes. Traffic conditions may vary depending on work progress and overnight traffic volumes.
Drivers are encouraged to check real-time traffic updates before heading out and consider adjusting travel plans if possible. ADOT will continue to monitor conditions throughout the maintenance period.
