TUCSON — A crash near West Congress Street closed the westbound lanes of Interstate 10 in Tucson on Saturday morning, according to a release from the Arizona Department of Transportation.
ADOT sent the alert just after 6 a.m. Arizona time on Nov. 14. The agency said there was no estimated time to reopen the westbound lanes, while eastbound traffic was unaffected.
The Congress Street interchange sits on the edge of downtown Tucson, where I-10 carries commuters and long-haul traffic between Phoenix and the Mexico border corridor.
ADOT urged drivers to expect delays and seek an alternate route. Local frontage roads and surface streets near downtown are likely to see heavier traffic until the freeway reopens.
The release did not include information about injuries or the number of vehicles involved. Thee Arizona Times will update this story if more details become available.
Real-time conditions are available at az511.gov, on the AZ511 app or by calling 511, ADOT said.
