Night owls, vampires, insomniacs and other late-night drivers traveling on I-17 between Phoenix and Flagstaff this week need to know the road will be closed between 11:30pm and 12:30pm nightly through Thursday, January 30.

Plan ahead, allow extra travel time or expect to catch a few winks in your car as the Arizona Department of Transportation continues work on southbound Interstate 17 south of Camp Verde. Construction of the two-mile-long climbing lane near the top of Copper Canyon Hill requires the nightly one-hour closures in both directions as crews prepare to blast rock cuts along the highway.
