An I-17 closure over the weekend caused massive backups in residential areas, and with more closures expected, ADOT explains more on what's being done to prevent this from happening again.ADOT spokesperson Doug Nintzel is giving some advice on how to avoid getting stuck."Don't leave the freeway. We'll try to move it as quickly as we can on the primary detour," he said.Getting off the freeway was part of the problem this past Mother's Day Weekend.
"If you're in a situation where 'I'm checking my phone and the app is telling me go here while this closure is in place,' we would recommend avoiding those situations because the local streets are not meant to handle the freeway traffic," Nintzel said.The southbound I-17 was closed between SR 74/Carefree Highway and Loop 303. This weekend, the northbound lanes will be closed. Nintzel says they're doing everything they can to prevent major backups this time around.
