adot-logo3Overnight paving work continues on northbound Interstate 17 near the State Route 169 junction (mileposts 275 to 279) on Sunday, July 20 through Thursday, July 24 between 8 p.m. and 10 a.m. each night.

During work hours, drivers can expect a single lane restriction on northbound I-17 through the work zone and intermittent restrictions of the off and on-ramps of SR 169.

In addition to paving work, final striping on southbound I-17 at the climbing lane (mileposts 280 to 286) just north of the SR 169 junction is scheduled Sunday and Monday nights, July 20 and 21 between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. Drivers can expect a single lane restriction during work hours.

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.

A reminder that Arizona Revised Statute 28-710 §B. provides for double fines for speeding through a marked highway work zone.
