The Arizona Department of Transportation will conduct a full closure of southbound Interstate-17 overnight Tuesday and again on Wednesday.

Crews will be installing concrete barriers along the route from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. The roadway will be closed again from 10 p.m. Wednesday to 2 a.m. Thursday.
