PHX Sky Train® Shutdowns Occurring in August

The second stage of construction of the PHX Sky Train® track is complete and testing is being conducted at night to prepare for initial operations later this year. We apologize for the nightly shutdowns listed here but they will be worth it when it provides easy transit across the entire airport upon completion.

The PHX Sky Train® will shut down nightly from Friday, Aug. 5 through Saturday, Aug. 27 from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.

See map for additional details.

An airport shuttle will be in route to pick up and drop off passengers.

NOTE: Shuttle buses arrive every 20 minutes on average during overnight hours when the PHX Sky Train® is not operating.

With numerous summer closures coming up, we encourage you to stay ahead of the curve by visiting the project website or by downloading the free mobile app, The Curve.
