Next week the Arizona Department of Transportation will complete paving work and remove temporary concrete barrier on Interstate 17 (mileposts 280 to 282) south of Camp Verde as part of the climbing lane project.

Drivers can expect a single lane restriction through the work zone nightly starting Monday, April 28 through Thursday, May 1. Work hours are from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. and drivers can expect minimal delays and slow moving truck traffic.

During construction, bicyclists are not permitted through the project work zone as the shoulders along I-17 are closed. The work zone will be clearly marked by temporary barricades and signage.

Although paving is complete, there is still work to be completed before the passing lane project is completed this summer.

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.
