Southbound Interstate 17
will close overnights at the I-17/I-40 interchange in Flagstaff next week while
crews continue to remove the I-40 bridge decks.
Beginning Thursday, August
16, southbound I-17 will close where the highway passes under Interstate 40.
This section will close nightly from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. through Friday, August 24.
Drivers heading south out of Flagstaff will need to take I-40 west to the Flagstaff
Ranch Road exit, then use I-40 eastbound to the exit for southbound I-17.
Also, I-40 has been
narrowed to one lane in each direction through the interchange.
The $10 million project
includes replacing the I-40 bridge decks in each direction over Beulah
Boulevard, immediately west of I-17, as well as the westbound bridge deck over
I-17. The eastbound I-40 bridge over I-17 will get a new concrete surface.
The project will also
increase the cross slope of the roadway over the renovated bridges, helping
drain water off of the road surface. It also includes guardrail and paving
work.
