PHOENIX — Traffic should run smoothly for drivers around the Valley this weekend.

That’s because no metro Phoenix freeways are scheduled to close, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation’s Weekend Freeway Travel Advisory for Aug. 22-25.

However, one major ramp will still be closed due to an ongoing project.

The ramp from the eastbound Loop 101 Agua Fria Freeway to north- and southbound Interstate 17 will remain closed this weekend.

The ramp closed on Aug. 15 due to a concrete pavement replacement project. It is scheduled to open by 5 a.m. next Friday.

Drivers who would normally use the ramp to access I-17 can get off eastbound Loop 101 at 35th Avenue and then go north to Deer Valley Road or south to Union Hills Drive. Both of those roads connect with I-17.

Drivers who want to get to downtown Phoenix can take eastbound Loop 101 to southbound State Route 51.

Other ongoing ramp closures of note for this weekend

There are two ramp closures on the westbound Loop 202 Santan Freeway. The off-ramp at Price Road is closed and is scheduled to reopen in late September. The off-ramp at Arizona Avenue is closed and is scheduled to reopen in mid-October. These closures are both due to the ongoing freeway widening project in that area.

In addition, the off-ramp from the westbound Loop 101 Agua Fria freeway at 67th Avenue in Glendale is closed. That ramp is scheduled to reopen in October.

On the eastbound side of the Loop 101 Agua Fria freeway, the off-ramp at 27th Avenue is Phoenix is closed. That is expected to open again in September.
