Lane restrictions on I-17 this week for pavement work

The Arizona Department of Transportation will be performing routine pavement maintenance on a five-mile segment of Interstate 17 between the Sunset Point Rest Area and Cordes Junction tomorrow and Wednesday, May 13 and 14 between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

The work will occur daily between mileposts 256 and 262 and will require alternating lane restrictions in both directions. There will also be intermittent shoulder closures during work hours to provide a safe work zone for maintenance crews. Minimal delays are expected.

The speed limit through the work zones will be reduced to 45 mph during work hours. Fines for speeding through a construction zone are doubled.
