Phoenix, AZ – Motorists traveling eastbound on Interstate 10 in the Wild Horse Pass Corridor should plan for overnight lane restrictions near the Gila River Bridge this week.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, the restriction will take place between mileposts 172 and 173 starting at 9 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 4, and lasting until 5 a.m. Friday, Sept. 5. Crews will be performing barrier repairs during this time.
Traffic will remain open but limited, and drivers are urged to allow extra travel time, reduce speed in the work zone and use caution around construction crews. ADOT advises travelers to consider alternate routes if possible to avoid delays.
The Gila River Bridge area is a key stretch of I-10, which connects Phoenix with Tucson and experiences heavy commuter and freight traffic. Roadwork along this corridor often creates backups, especially during peak hours. Officials said scheduling the repairs overnight is intended to minimize disruption.
ADOT continues to remind drivers that unexpected delays can occur with construction work and recommends checking the agency’s travel alerts and real-time updates before heading out. Information is available at az511.gov and through the free AZ511 mobile app.
The overnight restriction is part of ongoing infrastructure maintenance designed to improve safety and extend the life of barriers along the interstate.
