Flagstaff
drivers should plan for delays on eastbound Interstate 40 at Interstate 17 on
Saturday, July 21, between 5 and 10 a.m. while crews complete emergency pothole
repairs. Eastbound I-40 will be closed at I-17 while repair work is
underway. Drivers will be detoured onto southbound I-17 to J.W. Powell Boulevard
to exit and re-enter northbound I-17 to eastbound I-40.
Construction
crews are currently repairing and replacing bridge decks on four I-40 bridges
that carry traffic over I-17 and Beulah Boulevard with a lane closure through
the work zone. The potholes developed in the open lane, due in part to recent
heavy rains, and require the interstate closure to make the necessary repairs.
