Drivers on Interstate 17 should plan for overnight lane restrictions and ramp closures March 16-22

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises motorists to plan for overnight lane restrictions and ramp closures throughout the I-17 Improvement Project corridor during the upcoming week. The restrictions will begin the evening of Sunday, March 16, and end the morning of Saturday, March 22, as work continues on the I-17 Improvement Project between Anthem Way and Sunset Point.

Bumble Bee Road over southbound I-17 and under northbound I-17 will be fully closed to all traffic 24 hours a day until Friday, March 21, for continuing bridge work.

Drivers may experience a rolling closure in the work zones during the hours listed below. This involves traffic traveling slowly behind a two-lane operation. Drivers should also be aware of increased DPS presence in the project corridor. The extra enforcement patrols will focus on hazardous driver behaviors that could create safety issues in the work zone for both travelers and construction crews.

Drivers should allow extra travel time, drive with caution, follow the posted 65 mph speed limit in the work zone, and watch for construction personnel and equipment while the following restrictions are in place:
