Plan for ongoing lanes restrictions, travel delays as pavement repairs continue on northbound I-17 north of Sunset Point through mid-September
The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for ongoing lane restrictions and travel delays as pavement repair work continues on Interstate 17 between Sunset Point and the scenic overlook about 10 miles south of Munds Park.
Beginning Sunday evening, Aug. 27, crews will start making repairs on northbound I-17 approximately 5 miles south of the junction with State Route 69 at milepost 257.
- While work is underway, northbound I-17 will be narrowed to one lane – in 3- to 5-mile segments – from 10 p.m. to 10 a.m. Sunday nights through Friday mornings.
- The speed limit will be reduced in the work zone.
- The restrictions are anticipated to be in place through mid-September.
There will be no traffic restrictions on Friday, Sept. 1, in observance of the Labor Day holiday weekend.
The pavement work is part of ADOT’s $90 million statewide critical pavement repairs initiative. For more information on the statewide pavement repairs, visit the project page.
Expect daytime lane restrictions to continue on State Route 89A between Glassford Hill and Coyote Springs Roads in Prescott Valley through Sept.9
As work resumes on SR 89A, the Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to prepare for ongoing lane restrictions along a 3-mile segment of State Route 89A in Prescott Valley through Friday, Sept. 8. The recent delay to road work was due to rainy weather conditions.
There will be no restrictions on Friday, Sept. 1, through Monday, Sept. 4 in observance of the Labor Day holiday weekend.
Drivers should allow for extra travel time while the following daytime restrictions are in place from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m. (northbound) and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (southbound) Mondays through Saturdays.
- SR 89A will be reduced to one lane in each direction between Glassford Hill and Coyote Springs roads (mileposts 322-325).
- SR 89A will be reduced to one lane only with alternating north- and southbound travel between Coyotes Springs and Fain roads.
- On-site flaggers and a pilot car will assist drivers through the work zone.
- Drivers should be prepared to stop when approaching and proceeding through the flagging operation.
- Expect delays on access ramps for up to 15 minutes. Please use alternate routes.
- There will be a 14-foot vehicle width restriction, and the speed limit will be reduced in the work zone.
The restrictions are needed so crews can remove and replace the existing top layer of pavement on the north- and southbound lanes.
