Sedona AZ (October 6, 2014) – The Arizona Department of Transportation has scheduled guardrail repair this week on Arizona Interstate 17 in both directions between Sunset Point and New River. Work will occur until 7:00 p.m. today and continue through Thursday, October 9, 2014.

Work hours are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. each day.

The work between mileposts 234 and 253 will require alternating lane restrictions in both directions and intermittent shoulder closures during work hours to provide a safe work zone for maintenance crews. No delays are expected.

The speed limit through the work zones will be reduced to 45 mph during work hours.

ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but there is a possibility that unscheduled closures or restrictions may occur. Weather can also affect a project schedule.
