Sedona AZ (April 29, 2015) – The Arizona Department of Transportation will begin an overnight paving project tonight, April 29, on Interstate 17 to repave a 12-mile segment between State Route 169 and the Middle Verde traffic interchange (mileposts 279 to 291).
Work hours are Sunday through Thursday, 8:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. each day. This week, crews will place a temporary concrete barrier at the General Crook exit (milepost 285). The speed limit will be reduced in the work zone to 55 mph, minimal delays expected.
This $7.5 million project will remove a layer of the existing pavement, repave the roadway, with bridge work and shoulder improvements. Work is expected to be completed by September 2015.
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.
