Crews have begun working on a pavement improvement project along a 10-mile segment of Interstate 17 north of the Sunset Point rest area, and drivers should expect lane closures throughout the summer, state transportation officials said.
The work to improve the driving surface involves overnight lane closures on I-17 between the Sunset Point and State Route 69, which is the turnoff to Prescott. The $10 million project is taking place between mileposts 252-262.
The project requires narrowing the highway to a single lane in each direction between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. Sundays through Fridays. Lane restrictions will continue through the project’s completion in fall 2026, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
