ADOT to Close Sunset Point Rest Area Next Week

ADOT photoSedona AZ (April 11, 2013) – The Arizona Department of Transportation will close the Sunset Point rest area on AZ Interstate 17 for four days beginning Monday, April 15, 2013, from 6 p.m. until Friday, April 19, 2013, at 5 a.m. to allow crews to seal cracks in the pavement and restripe the parking lot.

The work is part of a $2.5 million project that included a new water system and improvements to existing rest area ramadas. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of May 2013.

The work at the Sunset Point rest area is part of statewide rest area rehabilitation program that will occur over the next several years. ADOT is investing $17.4 million to repair and refurbish the infrastructure of 16 rest areas (which includes the Marble Canyon rest area jointly owned by ADOT and the National Park Service) that will improve the waste and water systems at rest areas across the state.

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) continues to gather public comments on the 2014-2018 Tentative Five-Year Transportation Facilities Construction Program. Visit the ADOT website www.azdot.gov to take review the tentative plan and for public hearing details.
