Lane restrictions on Interstate 17 next week for routine maintenance work

The Arizona Department of Transportation has scheduled routine maintenance work on Interstate 17 next week, in both directions, from Table Mesa Road to just south of State Route 169.

Work hours are Monday, Jan. 12 through Wednesday, Jan. 14 between 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

Crews will work in three-mile segments between mileposts 235 and 277 that 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. Arizona Revised Statute provides for double-fines for speeding through a highway construction zone.

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.
