Eastbound Loop 101 and Southbound I-17 closed Feb. 28 for fire captain’s funeral procession

The funeral procession for Phoenix Fire Captain Crystal Rezzonico will make its way along sections of eastbound Loop 101 in the northwest Valley and southbound Interstate 17 in Phoenix on the afternoon of Tuesday, Feb. 28.

Drivers using either eastbound Loop 101 or southbound I-17 while the procession is underway after noon on Tuesday should plan for closures and stopped traffic.

Following a service for Captain Rezzonico at Christ’s Church of the Valley in Peoria, 67th Avenue is scheduled to be closed between Happy Valley Road and Loop 101 as the procession approaches and then enters eastbound Loop 101.

The procession will then travel south on I-17 before exiting at McDowell Road, traveling west on McDowell and south on 27th Avenue to Greenwood Memory Lawn Cemetery, where Captain Rezzonico will be laid to rest.

Sections of closed freeways and ramps will reopen as soon as possible after the procession passes by. Motorists can expect the following procession-related freeway closures to be in place Tuesday afternoon:

• Eastbound Loop 101 closed between 75th Avenue and I-17
• Southbound I-17 closed between Loop 101 and McDowell Road
