The Arizona Department of Transportation and the project developer, Kiewit-Fann Joint Venture (KFJV), are striving to minimize construction impacts as we complete the I-17 Improvement Project from Anthem Way to Sunset Point safely and efficiently.
Please take a few minutes to let us know how we did between Jan. 1 and July 31, 2024, by completing this survey. Your responses will help us determine how we can improve construction activities and communications efforts moving forward. We would appreciate your response by 4 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 15, 2024.
