PHOENIX - No full closures are scheduled along Phoenix-area freeways this weekend (Dec. 13-16), according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. The following Interstate 10 interchange restrictions are planned near Sky Harbor Airport for the Broadway Curve Improvement Project.

• 40th Street closed in both directions at I-10 from 8 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday(Dec. 16) for bridge work. The east- and westbound I-10 on-ramps at 40th Street also will be closed. Plan on using detours via 32nd Street or Broadway Road. More information: I10BroadwayCurve.com.

Drivers should focus on safe driving behaviors, including using seat belts, keeping speeds in check, staying alert and avoiding distractions. Never drive while impaired and plan ahead to use a designated driver or ride service.

ADOT plans and constructs new freeways, additional lanes and other improvements in the Phoenix area as part of the Regional Transportation Plan for the Maricopa County region. Most projects are currently funded in part by Proposition 400, a dedicated sales tax approved by Maricopa County voters in 2004. Voters in November approved Proposition 479, extending the existing half-cent tax to fund future transportation projects in the Phoenix region.

Real-time highway conditions are available on ADOT's Arizona Traveler Information site at az511.gov, the az511 app (download for Appleor Androiddevices) or by calling 511.
