Commuters Face Summer of Detours as I-10 Eastbound Off-Ramp at Baseline Closes FridaySource: TrickHunter, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons

Get ready for a detour, Big Apple drivers. The Arizona Department of Transportation is throwing a roadblock into your commute by shutting down a major off-ramp. You'll have to find a new way around as the eastbound Interstate 10 off-ramp at Baseline Road is closing up shop for a summer-long reconfiguration starting at 10 p.m. this Friday, May 10.

The agency is straightforward: you'll need to quickly adapt and to take a detour via Elliot Road if you're heading east on I-10, then loop back to westbound I-10 to hit Baseline Road. If you're coming from the west on US 60, the Priest Drive off-ramp is your ticket to Baseline Road. ADOT spilled the details in a recent advisory, warning travelers to brace for the closure until July.

Though we're all about fast and furious, sometimes slowing down is the only option. And before you hit the road, do yourself a solid – download TheCurve mobile app or visit the project site for the latest updates, because nobody likes unexpected surprises when it comes to closures.

Schedules are as unpredictable as a summer storm. They can change in the blink of an eye due to weather or other curveballs. Drivers take note: Stay informed to avoid getting caught off guard. The latest info is just a tap away with TheCurve app or a click on the project's website, so make it your ritual to double-check before you venture out.
