Work on wrong-way vehicle detection project continues: Two I-17 interchanges closed this weekend

Traffic restrictions are scheduled at two Interstate 17 interchanges this weekend as work continues to install the pilot wrong-way vehicle detection and warning system.

Drivers should plan for possible delays and use alternate routes as crews work to install equipment as follows:

·       Dunlap Avenue will be closed in both directions at I-17 from 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 22, until 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 23. Both I-17 off-ramps at Dunlap Avenue will also be closed.

·       Thunderbird Road will be closed in both directions at I-17 from 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 23, until 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 24. Both I-17 off-ramps at Thunderbird Road will also be closed.

Drivers are encouraged to avoid these areas and use alternate routes. Traffic on Dunlap Avenue and Thunderbird Road that approaches I-17 will be required to make right turns onto the freeway’s frontage road or on-ramps.
