Phoenix, AZ – Drivers heading through north Phoenix this weekend should prepare for delays as the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) announced lane restrictions along Interstate 17 between State Route 74 and Anthem Way. The work, scheduled from Friday, January 23, through Sunday, January 25, will allow crews to complete lane striping and maintenance.
According to ADOT, daytime restrictions will reduce northbound I-17 to two lanes from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., and southbound lanes from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
During overnight hours, I-17 will be further narrowed to one lane in each direction between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. Friday and Saturday nights.
Motorists traveling between Phoenix and Anthem are urged to allow extra travel time, follow posted detours, and use caution in active work zones. ADOT officials note that lane striping operations can cause brief delays as equipment moves along the highway.
Real-time updates are available through az511.gov or the ADOT Alerts app.
