Traffic Leaving Airport To Be Diverted Onto Howell

The DOT has announced it will close the westbound Airport Spur for reconstruction.

Effective Monday, all westbound traffic leaving Mitchell International Airport will be diverted onto Howell Avenue, the state Department of Transportation announced.

The DOT is closing the westbound Airport Spur for reconstruction. It's expected to remain closed through late 2012, according to a news release. The Airport Spur eastbound remains open.

That will likely mean more traffic in the north part of Oak Creek. The DOT is advising motorists who want to go south on Interstate 94 to turn left onto Howell and use College Avenue to access the interstate.
