Drivers on Southbound Interstate 17 approaching the state route 179 interchange,
Sedona Turnoff, should expect slow traffic and delays, especially during peak travel times,
while work is underway on a bridge improvement project starting Sunday, April 26th.
Southbound I-17 will be narrowed to one lane around the clock at the Sedona Turnoff,
milepost 299 for work to make significant improvements to the bridge structure over SR 179.
The project is scheduled for completion by late summer.
Drivers should be prepared to slow down and stay alert to signs when traveling on the downhill
approach to the work zone area.
To enhance safety, the southbound I-17 speed limit approaching SR 179 will be reduced to 45
miles per hour. A break check area for semi-trucks will be in place at the southbound I-17
scenic overlook at milepost 312. The southbound I-17 bridge project at SR 179 will include the
following. Remove and replace the pavement overlay on the bridge deck. Repair underlying concrete
as needed. Construct new bridge approach slabs. Replace guardrail as needed. Real-time highway
conditions are available on AdD's Arizona
traveler information site at AZ511.gov, the Oz 511 app,
download for Apple or Android devices, or by calling 511.
