PHOENIX, AZ — Interstate travelers should avoid Interstate 10 through the Deck Park Tunnel Friday night.
That's because the Arizona Department of Transportation is completing lighting improvements inside the tunnel, closing the I-10 inside the tunnel from 9 p.m. Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday.
The work will replace all lights inside the tunnel with more efficient and bright LED bulbs.
