Following a comprehensive procurement process, ADOT has entered into negotiations with a developer to design, construct, operate and maintain improvements to I-17 between Anthem Way and Sunset Point. The project will improve 23 miles of I-17, including 15 miles of roadway widening, two bridge replacements, one bridge deck replacement, 10 bridge widenings, and the installation of an eight-mile flex lane system. Contract negotiations are underway, and, pending a final contract, design and construction should begin in 2022. Construction is expected to take about three years.
