Detour: Drivers who normally would take the closed ramp can continue on westbound I-10 to the Palo Verde Road exit in order to enter eastbound I-10 and use the eastbound ramp to southbound SR 85.

Daytime I-10 lane restrictions also are scheduled west of SR 85 the week of 13-17:

East- and westbound I-10 narrowed to one lane from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday (March 13-17) between the SR 85 junction and milepost 106 (west of Palo Verde Road) for highway paving and shoulder work.
