As part of the comprehensive improvements underway for I-10 in the West Valley, drivers should plan for a full closure of 107th Avenue at I-10 beginning May 9th, as bridge construction begins.
This continuous closure will last approx. 3 to 4 weeks. I-10 & the freeway interchange ramps will remain open, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). During this closure, northbound & southbound access on 107th Avenue underneath I-10 will be closed. Earlier this month, similar construction began under I-10 at Estrella/Pebble Creek Parkway & at Litchfield Road.
At Estrella/Pebble Creek Parkway, construction crews work on weekdays, beginning at 1 am Mondays through 4 pm Fridays. The work is scheduled for up to 2 more weeks. Northbound & southbound access on Estrella/Pebble Creek Parkway underneath I-10 is closed, but interchange ramps are open as part of the Monday through Friday closures.
The Litchfield Road closure begins at 1 am on Tuesdays through 4 am on Fridays. Over the next 2 to 3 weeks, Litchfield Road will reopen only for weekend traffic. During the closures, northbound & southbound access on Litchfield Road underneath I-10 will be closed. Interchange on & off ramps will remain open.
During these closures, drivers are encouraged to use adjacent I-10 interchanges. Once complete, the I-10 expansion project will provide additional lanes between Verrado Way & Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway). The freeway expansion includes adding 2 new outside lanes & widening into the median to improve east & west traffic flow for West Valley commuters.
This project is one of the first elements of the Regional Transportation Plan for Maricopa County & is funded through a voter-approved half-cent sales tax to improve & construct new roads throughout the Valley during the next 20 years. More information on the Regional Transportation Plan is available at: azdot.gov/ValleyFreeways.
