ADOT opens new stretch of I-17 in north Phoenix
Comments 0 | Recommend 0PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Department of Transportation has opened new northbound lanes on Interstate 17 north of Phoenix just in time for next week's Thanksgiving travel crush.
The two new northbound lanes between Jomax Road and the Carefree Highway include a carpool lane.
ADOT said the roadway opening is the latest milestone for a $142 million project to add much-needed traffic capacity between Loop 101 and Carefree Highway.
ADOT previously opened two new northbound lanes between Loop 101 and Jomax Road on Nov. 9 and two new southbound lanes between Happy Valley Road and Loop 101 on October 29.
