PHOENIX — As has been going on for a while now, a portion of Interstate 17 in Phoenix will be closed this weekend.
The Arizona Department of Transportation announced all travel advisories for drivers in the Valley to watch for heading into June 9-12.
The work starts at 10 p.m. on Friday, and drivers are encouraged to consider alternate routes to avoid delays.
Here are the announced restrictions for the weekend:
- Southbound I-17 will be closed between Thomas Road and Interstate 10 at the “Stack” interchange from 10 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Monday for rubberized asphalt paving.
