————————
We are working to learn more about a heavy police presence on I-10 that is causing a traffic backup for commuters this morning.

At this time, we know the Department of Public Safety is working with Phoenix PD on an investigation on I-10 eastbound near Cortaro.

DPS tells us all eastbound lanes and frontage roads near the investigation are closed. Our traffic map also shows a major backup for those heading west.

We do not know when the road will reopen.

Our Blake Phillips is on the scene right now working to learn what’s going on. We’ve also reached out to Phoenix PD to learn more about what brought them to the Marana area.

Stay with KGUN9 for updates throughout the morning.
