Lanes restricted in Camp Verde, Munds Park area for message sign installs

PHOENIX - Daytime restrictions are scheduled along north- and southbound Interstate 17 in the Camp Verde and Munds Park areas Monday through Wednesday, March 23-25, for work to install a pair of digital message signs, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Drivers should allow extra travel time while the following I-17 lane restrictions are in place:

• Northbound I-17 narrowed to one lane near the State Route 260 interchange (milepost 287) in Camp Verde from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Wednesday (March 23-25) for sign installation.
• Southbound I-17 narrowed to one lane near Munds Park (milepost 324) from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday and Tuesday (March 23-24) for sign installation.

The new digital message signs are part of ADOT's ongoing $6 million project to add traffic management technology, including fiber optic cable and several closed circuit traffic cameras, along I-17 between Cordes Lakes and Flagstaff. The project also is installing road weather system equipment to help alert ADOT and travelers to potential storm-related traffic challenges.

The entire project is scheduled for completion this fall.
