Crews are continuing a much-needed project to improve the pavement along I-17. An older and rough top layer of asphalt pavement has been removed and specialized equipment is now being used to diamond grind the base concrete pavement, creating a smoother, safer and longer lasting riding surface along 6 miles of I-17. Along with diamond grinding, work will include repairing and pouring concrete at the bridge deck joints. Please note, it takes time for concrete to cure before vehicles can travel on the roadway, so although no visible work may be seen, vehicles cannot drive on impacted sections of roadway until Monday morning.

ADOT urges drivers to plan ahead for delays; slow down and use caution around construction personnel and equipment while the restrictions are in place.
