PHOENIX – Improvement projects will require weekend closures or lane restrictions along stretches of Phoenix-area freeways, including southbound Interstate 17 in north Phoenix.

Southbound I-17 on-ramps at State Route 74/Carefree Highway and Dove Valley Road closed. Allow extra travel time. Primary Detour: Southbound I-17 drivers should  follow the posted detour route on westbound Loop 303 to southbound Lake Pleasant Parkway and eastbound Happy Valley Road to return to I-17. Also consider staying on southbound Loop 303 to eastbound I-10 (in Goodyear) to travel toward downtown Phoenix. Consider traveling before the closure begins late Friday night.

Schedules are subject to change due to inclement weather or other factors. ADOT plans and constructs new freeways, additional lanes and other improvements in the Phoenix area as part of the Regional Transportation Plan for the Maricopa County region. Most projects are funded in part by Proposition 400, a dedicated sales tax approved by Maricopa County voters in 2004.
