A weekend closure of Northbound I-17 in North Phoenix is scheduled February 7th to 10th for some of the last work needed for a pavement improvement project south of State Route 74-care-free highway, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. ADOT has scheduled four weekend closures for final bridge and pavement improvements, including this one. Northbound I-17 closed between Loop 303 and SR-74-Carefree highway from 10 p.m. Friday, February 7 to 5 a.m. Monday, February 10th. Eastbound Loop 303 traffic approaching I-17 will be limited to a right turn-on to southbound I-17. No traffic crossing under I-17. Detour, allow extra travel time. Northbound I-17 traffic exiting at Loop 303 traffic will detour on the northbound frontage road to SR-74 to reach I-17. Note, to limit delays for you and others use this primary detour route, even if a navigation app suggests another route.

Avoid using local streets east by 17 that are not designed to handle freeway traffic. The much-needed project to improve the pavement along I-17 between Happy Valley Road and State Route 74 has removed the old, worn top layer of asphalt pavement, and the concrete pavement beneath it is undergone a treatment known as diamond grinding. The current schedule calls for three additional weekend closures. Southbound I-17 closed between Loop 303 and Happy Valley Road from 10 p.m. Friday, February 14th to 5 a.m. Monday, February 17th. Northbound I-17 closed between Happy Valley Road and Loop 303 from 10 p.m. Friday, February 21st to 5 a.m. Monday, February 24th. Southbound I-17 closed between SR-74 slash Carefree Highway and Loop 303 from 10 p.m. Friday, February 28th to 5 a.m. Monday, Monday, March 3. The closure schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather or other factors. The improvement work already has created a safer, smoother, and longer-lasting surface along

6 miles of I-17 north of Happy Valley Road. Work on the project started in May 2024. Real-time highway conditions are available on A Dots Arizona Traveler Information Site at OS511.gov, the AZ-511 app, download for Apple or Android devices, or by calling 511.
