Drivers who use the southbound Interstate 17 frontage road
in north Phoenix should consider an alternate route this Saturday while crews
locate underground utilities.
The southbound I-17 frontage road will be narrowed to one
lane between Thunderbird and Cactus roads, and between Peoria and Dunlap
avenues from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, August 4. Motorists should plan for
possible delays. The I-17 mainline will not be affected.
This week’s utility locating work is occurring as the
Arizona Department of Transportation prepares for a large-scale drainage
improvement project along I-17 in north Phoenix. The project, scheduled to
begin in 2019, aims to reduce the potential for flooding along the I-17
corridor during heavy rains by improving drainage facilities at the cross
street underpasses at Greenway, Thunderbird and Cactus Roads and Peoria Avenue.
Learn more about the upcoming project here.
Drivers should proceed through the work zone with caution,
slow down and watch for utility personnel and equipment.
