Cement Truck Rollover Shuts Most Westbound I-10 Lanes in Avondale

Fresh concrete on the highway has created a technical cleanup that is likely to keep lanes closed, stalling many West Valley commutes.

Overview

  • A four-vehicle crash on westbound I-10 near Fairway Drive caused a cement truck to roll over and spill fresh concrete, according to DPS.
  • Authorities closed all westbound lanes except the HOV lane to allow limited car travel while crews work on scene.
  • Troopers confirmed there are injuries but have not released the number or severity and they are still investigating the cause and driver identities.
  • Officials warned the cleanup is complex because wet concrete can harden quickly and must be removed with heavy equipment, which could prolong the closure.
  • Drivers are urged to use alternate routes and expect delays, and the incident adds to recent heavy-vehicle strains on the I-10 corridor that have disrupted West Valley traffic.
