Interstate 17 will be closed in both directions up to 15 minutes just north of Cordes Junction (milepost 264) at 7 a.m. Sunday, April 27 for overhead utility work.

The closures will provide a safe work zone as crews run overhead utility lines across the interstate.

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. Law enforcement personnel will be present to enforce the closures as they occur.
