Lane Restrictions on Southbound I-17 

Southbound I-17 will be restricted to one lane at times starting next
week, while survey crews work on a six-mile stretch of the interstate
between Sunset Point and Black Canyon City. 

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) says workers are
scheduled to work from dawn to dusk beginning Tuesday, May 16, 2006, and
will continue working Monday through Thursday through mid June.  No work
will take place on May 29 and 30 to accommodate Memorial Day weekend
travel.

The work is being done to prepare for a future repaving project on the
I-17.
  
Drivers are encouraged to give themselves extra travel time to avoid any
delays in the area.  Delays are expected since only one lane of the
southbound I-17 will be open while the survey work is under way.
