Phoenix, AZ – Valley commuters will get a rare break from freeway shutdowns this weekend. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), no full freeway closures are scheduled across the Phoenix area from Friday night, Dec. 12, through Monday morning, Dec. 15.
ADOT confirmed that ongoing improvement projects will continue but won’t require complete shutdowns. “Something will be missing on Valley freeways this weekend: planned closures,” the department announced on social media Thursday.
While freeways will stay open, officials still advise drivers to remain alert for lane restrictions or overnight maintenance in certain areas. Before heading out, motorists are encouraged to check the latest conditions through AZ511.gov or the AZ511 mobile app (available on Apple and Android).
Minor lane closures and construction activity may still impact travel times, especially near the I-10, I-17, and Loop 101 corridors. ADOT also reminded drivers to plan ahead and “drive safely” throughout the weekend.
