Overnight work on the Interstate 17 climbing lane project south of Camp Verde requires two, one-hour closures in both directions several nights this week between midnight and 3 a.m.

The work will occur overnight tonight; Tuesday, July 23; and Wednesday, July 24 as crews continue blasting along the highway.

Each night, the first closure will be from midnight to 1 a.m. and the second closure will be 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. 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. During construction, bicyclists are not permitted through the project work zone as the shoulders along I-17 are closed.

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.

For the past three months, crews have been working on the northbound side of State Route 89 in Chino Valley as part of an overall improvement project. Starting today, July 22, efforts to construct the southbound sidewalk will begin.

From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, southbound SR 89 will be narrowed to one lane through the work zone for the next three months.

The project consists of landscape enhancements and a new sidewalk along the roadway between Road 4 South and Center Street. The $692,000 project is scheduled for completion this fall.
