New advisory issued on I-10

In an update on the Interstate 10 widening project, state transportation officials are advising motorists that those who want to use the 6th Avenue entrance ramp to westbound I-10 won’t be able to directly enter westbound I-10.

Motorists have the choice of entering the westbound I-10 frontage road or taking southbound Interstate 19. This condition will remain in effect for at least a year, Arizona Department of Transportation officials said.

For access to westbound I-10 from 6th Avenue:

Travel south on 6th Avenue and take Ajo Way to northbound I-19 and then to westbound I-10.

Take the westbound I-10 entrance ramp at 6th Avenue to southbound I-19 to Ajo Way and turn around to get on northbound I-19 to westbound I-10.

Take the eastbound I-10 entrance ramp to Park Avenue, turn left and get in the right lane to take the second right to the westbound I-10 entrance ramp.

For access to the downtown area between Prince Road and 29th Street from 6th Avenue, take the westbound I-10 entrance ramp at 6th Avenue and travel the westbound I-10 frontage road to the cross street you want.

The current signs directing traffic to I-10 will be adjusted to clarify frontage road access versus freeway access, ADOT said.
