Motorists traveling overnight on Interstate 17 next week, between Cordes Junction and Camp Verde, need to plan ahead due to two projects south of the State Route 169 junction.

The overnight work will be from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. nightly. The work takes place as follows:

Sunday, May 4 through Thursday, May 8 SR 169 narrowed to one lane over I-17. Drivers will be guided through work zone by flaggers.

Tuesday, May 6 and Wednesday, May 7 Southbound I-17 will be closed at SR 169 interchange. DETOUR: All vehicles will use the off and on-ramps at SR 169.

Monday, May 5 through Thursday, May 8 Southbound I-17 will be narrowed to one lane at milepost 276 (approximately two miles south of the SR 169 bridge) for guardrail installation.

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.
