Sedona AZ (September 29, 2013) – Overnight work on Arizona Interstate 17 (AZ I-17) north of Black Canyon City requires intermittent closures for work related to a maintenance and paving project.
The closures will be about 15 minutes each and will take place between Midnight and 3:00 a.m., Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights (September 30 – October 2): Traffic will be stopped on AZ I-17 near Coldwater Canyon Road by law enforcement personnel.
The closures provide a safe work zone for crews as they remove debris and large boulders from behind the concrete barrier along the roadway.
In addition to the intermittent closures, traffic will be narrowed to one lane through the project work zone between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. nightly Monday through Thursday.
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.

Restriping work scheduled on local streets in Payson this week – Minimal delays expected
A street restriping project will start in Payson this week, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. Work will take place on the following streets: Airport Road, Country Club Drive, Green Valley Parkway, Longhorn and McLane roads.
The work is part of a highway safety improvement project, which consists of restriping specified local roads and crosswalks in Payson, Globe, Sedona, Flagstaff, Cottonwood, and various locations in Apache County.
The Arizona Department of Transportation anticipates opening the McGuireville rest area at milepost 296 on Interstate 17 around mid-October after the completion of a water rehabilitation project. The opening has been rescheduled due to electrical equipment delays for the newly installed well pump.
Drivers are encouraged to use alternate facilities either in Flagstaff or at the Sunset Point rest area located along I-17 at milepost 252 during the closure.
Overnight closures next week on AZ I-17 south of Camp Verde – Traffic will be stopped up to one hour in both directions.
AZ Interstate 17 will be closed intermittently in both directions overnight next week as part of the climbing lane project south of Camp Verde.

Northbound I-17 will be stopped at State Route 169 and southbound I-17 traffic will be stopped at General Crook Trail until the work is completed and the roadway is reopened.
In addition to the full closures drivers can expect single-lane restrictions in both directions through the work zone between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. Monday night through Friday morning.
