Our project widening I-17 and creating an innovative system of flex lanes between Anthem and Sunset Point is always a popular topic for On the Road With ADOT. With big things happening in the coming weeks and months, we've invited back Laura Douglas, ADOT's lead communicator on this project, to provide an update. 

Laura chats with host Doug Nintzel about a shift that will have northbound traffic using flex lanes being established between Black Canyon City and Sunset Point. That's so work can continue on the existing northbound lanes.

She also has an update on when drivers can expect to benefit from a wider I-17 between Anthem Way and Black Canyon City. 

Spend a few minutes with Laura and Doug and you'll be up to speed on a project that will dramatically improve travel between the Valley and Arizona's high country.
