APS work, Valley Metro project affect weekend I-17 travel in north Phoenix

Posted

Arizona Public Service powerline work and Valley Metro’s light rail bridge project will force detours this weekend along portions of Interstate 17, state transportation officials said.

Northbound I-17 will be closed between Dunlap Avenue and Union Hills Drive from 10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 3, to 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 6 for the power line and bridge work.

Northbound I-17 on-ramps at Bethany Home Road, Glendale Avenue and Northern Avenue also will be closed.

Drivers can consider alternate routes, including northbound SR 51 to westbound Loop 101 in north Phoenix to avoid the closure, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Local detour routes include 19th or 35th avenues to travel beyond closure.  

In addition, southbound I-17 will be closed between Loop 101 and Union Hills Drive in north Phoenix from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday for APS powerline work. 

The southbound I-17 on-ramp at Rose Garden Lane and both Loop 101 ramps to southbound I-17 also will be closed.

ADOT officials said drivers can consider using eastbound Loop 101 to southbound SR 51 as an alternate freeway route to the downtown Phoenix/Sky Harbor Airport area.

Local detour routes include 19th or 35th avenues to travel beyond the closure, they said.
