Another round Phoenix metro freeway closures and potential traffic problems

Another closure along Interstate 17 is scheduled, and this time, it's the northbound lanes between Loop 303 and State Route 74.The closure starts May 17 at 10 p.m. and runs through 5 a.m. Monday morning, May 20, as the Arizona Department of Transportation will be doing pavement work."It's disruptive!" said Alex."About I-17, I feel like that’s pretty insane. It’s going to be hard to try to go around, because there’s not a lot of places you can go, not even dirt roads.

Nintzel says he understands the frustration, but stresses this short-term pain is worth it for the long term gain of the paved roads."This project is going to make the pavement along I-17 between Happy Valley road and State Route 74 much smoother. You are going to enjoy the ride on I-17, it’s just a matter of baring with us, let us get through these closures and get through the work."A work that's a necessary evil for Roger Vore with the Rock Springs Cafe off the I-17.
