The Arizona Department of Transportation reminds motorists to plan for overnight lane restrictions on Interstate 17 the upcoming week. The restrictions will begin Monday, July 17, and end the morning of Saturday, July 22, as work on the I-17 Improvement Project between Anthem Way and Sunset Point continues.
