area to the high country. If you haven’t traveled this major corridor in a while, you’ll see how crews are making significant progress to improve the 23-mile drive between Anthem Way and Sunset Point., drivers will see construction crews grading the area in the median between the existing northbound and southbound lanes as they prepare to add one general purpose lane in each direction.
Controlled rock blasting and earthwork are the biggest operations currently underway for the I-17 Improvement Project. This work began in 2022 and will continue throughout much of 2023. The rock blasting is necessary to make way for the additional general purpose lanes and the eight miles of flex lanes, which will be constructed next to the existing southbound lanes from Black Canyon City to Sunset Point.
Because I-17 is such a heavily traveled corridor, a significant portion of the construction work occurs during the weeknight overnight hours from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. when lane closures and restrictions are allowed. However, the majority of the work still happens during the day as crews work in the median or on the sides of the highway.
“The message is simple. Drivers need to slow down and pay attention in the work zone,” said Riley. “Please obey the reduced speed limit and watch for construction workers, vehicles and equipment. We want everyone to get to their destinations safely, and we also want all of our highway workers to get safely home.
