Each night, starting tonight through Thursday, January 23, the I-17 will be closed in both directions from 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., 1 to 2 a.m. and again from 2:30 to 3:30 a.m. as blasting continues along the interstate.

ADOT urges drivers to adjust their travel schedules or allow extra travel time to reach their destinations.

In addition to the full closures, I-17 will be narrowed to one lane in both directions through the work zone from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

The work zone will be clearly marked by temporary barricades and signage. ADOT advises drivers to proceed through the work zone with caution, comply with the reduced speed limit, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.

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.
