One-hour closure scheduled this week between 11:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m.

This week crews will close Interstate 17 overnight, in both directions, between General Crook Trail and State Route 169 for up to one hour between 11:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. tonight, Tuesday, Feb. 4 and Thursday, Feb. 6.

The nightly closure allows work on the climbing lane project south of Camp Verde. Each night, from 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., northbound I-17 will be stopped at SR 169, and southbound I-17 traffic will be stopped at General Crook Trail, until the work is completed and the roadway can be reopened.

During this construction project, bicyclists are not permitted through the project work zone at any time, as the shoulders along I-17 are closed. Bicyclists can bypass the work zone via State Route 169 for northbound riders or State Route 260 for southbound riders.

The work zone will be clearly marked by temporary barricades and signage. ADOT advises drivers to allow additional time to reach their destinations and to proceed through the work zone with caution, comply with the reduced speed limit, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.
