Weekend driving alert: I-17 South to close between Jomax, Deer Valley roads

Heavy traffic and delays can be expected this weekend (Sept. 19-21) along southbound Interstate 17 in north Phoenix when the freeway is closed for paving, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
Drivers should avoid southbound I-17 between Jomax and Deer Valley roads if possible and consider using alternate routes when the freeway is closed from 2 a.m. Saturday to 3 a.m. Monday (Sept. 21).
Consider alternate routes via westbound State Route 74 or eastbound Carefree Highway. Another alternate route for drivers heading to the West Valley is southbound Loop 303, which connects with Interstate 10 west of Sarival Avenue in Goodyear.
Southbound I-17 traffic exiting at Jomax Road will detour east and use southbound 19th Avenue and westbound Deer Valley Road.
Crews are nearing completion of the $50 million project to reconstruct the I-17 interchanges at Happy Valley and Pinnacle Peak roads.
A new top layer of smooth rubberized asphalt will be added along southbound I-17 this weekend. The freeway has been widened in both directions as part of the improvement project.
Northbound I-17 is scheduled to be closed between Deer Valley and Jomax roads the weekend of Sept. 26-28.
The I-17 project has included construction of a diverging diamond interchange at Happy Valley Road, which is scheduled for completion in mid-October.
