You're probably well aware of the massive Interstate 17 Improvement Project moving toward completion between Anthem and Sunset Point. You might have encountered the much-needed project that created a smooth, durable driving surface between Happy Valley Road and State Route 74 in North Phoenix.

Now, an ADOT project is set to rehabilitate the pavement between SR 74 and Anthem Way, between those two projects. That's the subject of this week's episode of On the Road With ADOT

Resident Engineer Joe Heller, who is overseeing this project to replace the pavement in this stretch, has all the details, including the good news that the freeway itself will only see overnight and weekend lane restrictions. That means no planned closures. 

You can learn more about this project and subscribe for updates at azdot.gov/i17-sr74-anthem-way-pavement-rehab. When overnight lane restrictions begin in the coming weeks, please slow down in the work zone for your safety and for the safety of construction workers. 

You can subscribe to episodes of On the Road with ADOT through Apple Podcasts and Spotify. You also can find episodes at azdot.gov/Podcast and featured in ADOT Blog posts.
