Convert frontage roads to one-way
Development Phase:
Under construction
Length:
N/A
Schedule:
Regional Transportation Plan Phase I (2006-2010)
Construction began in June 2007 and is scheduled for completion by 2009.
Budget:
$35.8 million
Project Details:
In partnership with the City of Phoenix, a new full diamond traffic interchange will be constructed at Interstate 17 (Black Canyon Freeway) and Jomax Road and a half-diamond traffic interchange with ramps to the south will be constructed at I-17 and Dixileta Drive. New bridge structures will be constructed at Jomax Road and Dixileta Drive over I-17. Existing two-way frontage roads along I-17 between Happy Valley Road and Dixileta Drive will be converted to more efficient and safer one-way roads. New northbound and southbound frontage road bridges over Skunk Creek are also included in the project.
Traffic Management During Construction:
During construction of these projects, ADOT plans to maintain two lanes of traffic along I-17 in each direction during peak hours. ADOT will coordinate with the City of Phoenix to coordinate traffic during the conversion of the frontage roads from two-way to one-way.
Our Valley Freeway System is part of the 2004 voter-approved Regional Transportation Plan. We are working hard with our transit partners to implement the voters’ vision and are committed to quality, safety, open communication with our neighbors, and minimal inconvenience to the traveling public.
