Traffic on northbound I-17 has been temporarily shifted into the flex lanes north of Coldwater Road. Some navigation apps, such as Google Maps, may not reflect this traffic shift and may be showing I-17 northbound as closed north of Black Canyon City. Check current traffic and road conditions via az511.com or on the AZ511 app. Watch a drive through video of the detour route.

Northbound traffic has been shifted into the two newly constructed flex lanes that run adjacent to the two existing southbound lanes of I-17. This temporary traffic shift is necessary while crews complete work on the existing northbound general purpose lanes between Coldwater Road and Sunset Point. The newly constructed lanes are not yet operating as “flex lanes.” The two flex lanes will be used only as a detour route to move northbound I-17 traffic while the two existing northbound general purpose lanes are closed for ongoing work.
