## Resource

Phoenix drivers brace for major freeway chaos this weekend—big closures and lane restrictions hit Friday night through Sunday morning as ADOT pushes ahead with critical pavement and widening projects. Southbound Loop 101, eastbound Loop 303, and eastbound Loop 202 Santan Freeway all face full or partial shutdowns. Detours via local roads or I-17 are strongly advised. Plus, SR 51 narrows to two lanes for seven weeks starting July 27, and a key ramp closes late Sunday night. Check AZ511.gov or call 511 for real-time updates—especially with monsoon weather looming.
