I-17: Junction SR 179 to I-40

Design Concept Report and Environmental Studies
Federal Aid No. NH-017-B(AUC)
Project No. 17 YV 298 H6960 01L

To develop a long-range plan to provide added capacity to and improve operations on I-17 from Milepost (MP) 298.5 to MP 340.

The Arizona Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration as lead federal agency are conducting engineering and environmental studies to develop a long-range plan for the improvement of the Interstate 17 corridor between the State Route 179 traffic interchange (Sedona turnoff) and the Interstate 40 traffic interchange in Flagstaff. A series of improvements will be developed to provide for greater capacity and to ensure smooth operations for the traffic volumes that are projected to occur over the next 20 to 30 years. The design concept report will consider roadway, bridge, and drainage improvements. Environmental issues will also be assessed. When the reports are complete, potential projects will be identified and priorities established for future inclusion in ADOT’s construction program when funding is available.
