Expect heavier evening rush hour traffic on West Valley freeways as the Arizona Cardinals play host to Monday Night Football on Oct. 17.
With the Cardinals and New York Jets kicking off at 5:30 p.m., drivers using Interstate 10 west from downtown Phoenix and the Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway) should allow extra travel time and consider starting their trips earlier or later.
Ticketholders driving from north Scottsdale and north Phoenix should consider taking Loop 101 to University of Phoenix Stadium rather than routes that would put them on westbound I-10. Freeway message boards will carry critical updates on current and anticipated traffic conditions as well as recommended exits.
Drivers can get traffic updates through ADOT’s Twitter (@ArizonaDOT) and via the ADOT Traveler Information Center at az511.gov or by calling 511. Information on Glendale and Phoenix traffic conditions is available via Twitter at @GlendaleAZPD and @phxstreettrans.
