Description

PHOENIX, AZ — Interstate travelers should avoid Interstate 10 through the Deck Park Tunnel Friday night. That's because the Arizona Department of Transportation is completing lighting improvements inside the tunnel, closing the I-10 inside the tunnel from 9 p.m. Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday. The work will replace all lights inside the tunnel with more efficient and bright LED bulbs. The interstate will be closed between the I-10/I-17 "Stack" interchange and 7th Street, with drivers detoured along southbound I-17, the department said. In addition, north and southbound ramps from I-17 to eastbound I-10 at the "Stack" will be closed starting Friday night, with drivers advised to use eastbound Van Buren Street or McDowell Road to get to I-10 at 7th Street. The eastbound I-10 ramps at 7th and 19th avenues and the 3rd Street HOV on-ramp will also be closed overnight, with the same detour in place.
