PHOENIX — Interstate 17 in Phoenix has been undergoing a lot of construction recently for asphalt resurfacing.
Work on the freeway is going to continue according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
ADOT and the Federal Highway Administration have initiated a project to reconstruct traffic interchanges on I-17 at Happy Valley and Pinnacle Peak roads, the department announced.
Work on the Happy Valley Road interchange will include removing the existing roundabouts, replacing them with a diverging diamond interchange and constructing a new underpass bridge.
Similar developments are going to be made at the Pinnacle Peak Road interchange, with construction of retaining walls on the agenda, as well.
Construction is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2018 and last about 20 months, ADOT said.

Wait till the dumb drivers of Arizona get a taste of that "diverging diamond interchange" they will be driving on the wrong side of it in no time !!!!
I'll miss drifting my car around the roundabouts late at night.
while I'm glad to get rid of those two roundabouts, they were a cluster to drive on.
ADOT better have plenty of signs , curbs and short walls to keep the drivers from making a wrong turn and end up on the wrong side of the highway.
