Upcoming Lane Restrictions & Ramp Closures
The Arizona Department of Transportation reminds motorists to plan for lane restrictions and ramp closures in the I-17 Improvement Project corridor during the upcoming week.
The following restrictions will begin the evening of Monday, May 12, and end the morning of Saturday, May 17, as work continues on the I-17 Improvement Project between Anthem Way and Sunset Point.
Some navigation apps, such as Google Maps, may not reflect the current nortbound 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 on Apple or Android
Scroll down for the full details on this week's lane restrictions.
Bumble Bee Road and the northbound I-17 exit ramp at Bumble Bee Road remain closed for several weeks for bridge deck replacement.
The exit and entrance ramps connecting southbound I-17 to Coldwater Road (exit 244) will be closed 24 hours a day through May 18, 2025, to expedite grading and paving for the new and improved ramps. Local access on Coldwater Road, under the I-17 overpass, will be maintained. To access Coldwater Road from southbound I-17, exit at Rock Springs/Velda Rose Road (exit 242), then re-enter northbound I-17 and exit at Coldwater Road. To access southbound I-17 from Coldwater Road, drive southbound on Old Black Canyon Highway and enter northbound I-17 at Rock Springs/Velda Rose Road.
There are NO scheduled weekend closures as part of the I-17 Improvement Project.
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.
