Construction on I-8 to affect travel to AWC Commencement
Those attending the Arizona Western College commencement on Friday, May 18, should allow for extra time travel as traffic interchange improvements will be underway nearby for phase two of the Araby road south roundabout.
Those driving to the ceremony from west of 3E are encouraged to use highway 95 to Araby road to avoid construction and homebound traffic.
Attendees coming from east of 3E are encouraged to take 9E to get to 24th Street.
Beginning Wednesday, May 16, the eastbound I-8 off-ramp at Araby Road is scheduled to close as well as access to Araby from Gila Ridge Road.
Araby Road will also be reduced to one lane in both directions between 30th to 26th Streets starting May 17.
The event begins at 8 p.m. on Friday, May 18, at the Veterans Memorial Stadium located at 7150 E. 24th St.
