Sedona AZ (June 13, 2018) – Two ramps along Arizona Interstate 10 in the West Valley will soon be removed permanently to allow for the new freeway-to-freeway interchange that will connect to the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway.

The eastbound AZ I-10 off-ramp at 51st Avenue will close permanently at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 13, 2018.

Next week, the eastbound AZ I-10 on-ramp at 59th Avenue will close permanently at 8:00 p.m. on Monday, June 18, 2018

With the removal of these ramps, a new I-10 access road between 59th and 51st avenues will provide access to 59th Avenue when completed in July.

This is one of several AZ I-10 ramps that have been removed permanently or reconstructed to tie into a wider I-10 which will include connecting ramps to and from the South Mountain Freeway when it opens late 2019.

The westbound AZ I-10 on-ramp at 43rd Avenue remains closed throughout July 2018 due to reconstruction.

Long term and permanent closures of existing on-and-off ramps are necessary between 51st and 67th avenues until all of the new access roads are completed by fall 2018: Motorists will be able to access 59th Avenue from these new roadways.
