  • The Arizona Department of Transportation opened new lanes on Interstate 17 between Anthem Way and Black Canyon City just in time for Memorial Day travelers.

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has opened new lanes on Interstate 17 between Anthem Way and Sunset Point, aimed at improving traffic flow and safety. This project, part of a broader initiative to enhance the Phoenix-to-Flagstaff corridor, involved adding an 8-mile flex lane system and a 15-mile section of new lanes. The flex lanes, which can be used in either direction based on traffic needs, are designed to reduce congestion, particularly during peak travel times and weekends. ADOT officials have emphasized the importance of these improvements for both daily commuters and holiday travelers, noting that the project also included the construction of new bridges and the widening of existing ones to accommodate the additional lanes.
