A stretch of northbound Interstate 17 near downtown Phoenix will be closed this weekend for rubberized asphalt resurfacing. The Arizona Department of Transportation also says Interstate 10 ramps to northbound I-17 at the “Stack” interchange will be closed. Drivers should consider alternate routes to steer clear of the restrictions.

Here is ADOT’s list of planned freeway restrictions this weekend (April 21-24):

Interstate 17 between 19th Avenue and Thomas Road

CLOSURE: Northbound Interstate 17 closed between 19th Avenue and Thomas Road from 10 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday (April 24) for rubberized asphalt resurfacing. Both I-10 ramps to northbound I-17 at the “Stack” interchange closed. McDowell Road closed in both directions at I-17 for bridge work. Southbound I-17 left lane closed near McDowell Road.

DETOUR: Consider alternate routes due to anticipated delays on northbound I-17. Alternate routes include westbound I-10 starting near Sky Harbor Airport to northbound SR 51 and westbound Loop 101 to reach I-17.
