- Drivers on northbound I-17 will be shifted through a detour to Stagecoach Road and then to the new Arcosanti traffic interchange to continue northbound on I-17 between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
- Drivers on southbound I-17 will be shifted through a detour over the Arcosanti bridge to the State Route 69 on-ramp back onto southbound I-17 between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Monday, Nov. 19 and Tuesday Nov. 20:

No work is scheduled for the Thanksgiving holiday Wednesday through Saturday, Nov. 21-24. ADOT will resume work on Sunday night, Nov. 25.
The work is part of a $50 million project to modernize the I-17/SR 69 interchange.
The work zone will be clearly marked by temporary barricades and signage. ADOT advises drivers to allow additional time to reach their destinations and to proceed through the work zone with caution, comply with the reduced speed limit, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.
ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but there is a possibility that unscheduled closures or restrictions may occur. Weather can also affect a project schedule.
