Interstate 17

Weekly construction Updates will be posted here as they become available.

The project will not be completed by the end of April 2010.  Weather permitting; it is scheduled to be complete June of 2010. - Ken Wilson, on behalf of ADOT’s Communication and Community Partnerships Division 3/29/10

The Arizona Department of Transportation began construction to improve the Interstate 17 and McGuireville Traffic Interchange in October 2008.  Work is underway and is expected to be complete in Spring 2010.  Improvements include:

• Widening northbound and southbound I-17 between Mile posts (MP) 292.93 and 293.62.
• Widening Dry Beaver Creek Bridges.
• Replacing bridge decks.
• Extending the existing entrance and exit ramps.
• Constructing retaining walls.
• Milling and repaving the roadway.
• Replacing guardrails, signage, lighting, and pavement markers.

Lane closures and restriction on Interstate 17 through the construction zone are common as crews reconstruct the bridges and entrance and exit ramps.  Speeds through the construction zone have been lowered to 45 miles per hour and are strictly enforced for the protection of other motorists and crew members. The left southbound lane has less than the posted clearance height of 14’ 8”. Vehicles over 14’ 3” in height should use the right lane until the new bridge is completed.

SOUTHBOUND INTERSTATE 17
YAVAPAI COUNTY LINE TO MCGUIREVILLE AREA

Paving work scheduled to begin

On Monday, June 14, highway crews are scheduled to start a 15-mile resurfacing project along southbound Interstate 17 from the Coconino-Yavapai County line (milepost 311) to the McGuireville area. Southbound I-17 will be narrowed to one lane in areas where crews will work to make your ride much smoother.

Motorists traveling southbound on I-17 south from Flagstaff will encounter lane restrictions, reduced speeds, and possible delays starting at the Yavapai County line. All work will be performed Monday through Thursday between 4:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. and Friday between 4:00 a.m. and noon.

Motorists are advised to slow down and follow all traffic control signage through the work zone. Truck drivers must stop at the marked Mandatory Brake Check before entering the construction zone.
