• Widen Dry Beaver Creek bridges
• Replace bridge decks
• Extend the existing entrance and exit ramps
• Construct retaining walls

Communication is a key component to a successful project. ADOT welcomes your questions and comments. Construction alerts will be available throughout the duration of the project. If you would like to receive these updates please email or call 1.866.751.2083.

ADOT will make efforts to minimize impacts to the traveling public through out construction.

Crews will be paving and installing guardrail on both the exit and entrance ramps at the Middle Verde Traffic Interchange during overnight hours throughout the week. Additionally, crews will be paving and installing guardrail along Interstate 17 southbound between McGuireville TI and General Crook Trail TI. Please be aware of the following impacts:

A larger view is available.

	Monday, October 20th – Thursday, October 23rd
	7 p.m. – 6 a.m.
	Paving operations will occur during overnight hours along southbound lanes of I-17 through Camp Verde throughout the week.
	Monday, October 20th – Thursday, October 23rd
	7 p.m. – 6 a.m.
	Paving and guardrail work on both exit and entrance of I-17 southbound at the Middle Verde TI will require periodic closures over the next week. All closures will be signed with well-marked detours. During off-ramp closures, traffic will detour to Camp Verde TI and northbound to Middle Verde TI. During on-ramp closures, traffic will detour to McGuireville TI to access I-17 southbound. Closures will be intermittent during overnight hours throughout the week.

 Construction Alert

The Arizona Department of Transportation is improving the southbound lanes of I-17 between the McGuireville Traffic Interchange (TI) and the General Crook Trail TI.

• Work began in early September 2008.
   
  
• This project will remove the top layer of asphalt along the southbound lanes and replace it with a new layer of rubberized asphalt. Additionally, new pavement, striping and street lighting will be installed in the western-most roundabout at the middle Verde Traffic Interchange.
   
  
• The contractor has 100 working days to complete the project, which means: if we are not interrupted by bad weather, we may be able to finish before the end of the year; if not, we will complete the paving in early 2009.
   
• The majority of the work will be performed between the hours of 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. to minimize traffic impacts.
   
• Motorists will experience reduced speeds, lane restrictions, and rough roads associated with milling operations..
