    logo_azdotFlagstaff AZ (April 25, 2018) – An Arizona Department of Transportation project scheduled to start Monday, April 30, will deliver a smoother driving surface along 28 miles of northbound Interstate 17 leading to Flagstaff, a stretch battered by repeated cycles of freeze and thaw during the winter.

    In addition to replacing pavement north from the Coconino County line at milepost 312, the $24.4 million project will rebuild 2 miles of the heavily traveled interstate between mileposts 312 and 314.

    Crews will place concrete barriers along the interstate between mileposts 312 and 314 next Monday in order to start rebuilding the right lane. The highway will first be narrowed to the left lane northbound through the work zone. After the right lane has been reconstructed, crews will rebuild the left lane. This one-lane restriction will stay in place until mid-summer.

    A 12-foot vehicle-width restriction will be in place as well as a lowered speed limit throughout the lane restriction.

    Drivers can expect other restrictions as crews replace pavement along the other 26 miles of northbound I-17. Those heading to Flagstaff this summer should budget extra travel time.

    The project also includes replacing the bridge decks in each direction on the I-17 overpass at Willard Springs Road, near milepost 326. Drivers can expect periodic closures of Willard Springs Road and ramp closures.

    The majority of the work is expected to be completed later this fall, with additional work happening next spring.

    ADOT is improving pavement along 182 lane miles of Interstate 40 and Interstate 17 in the Flagstaff area, addressing deterioration caused by snow and snowplowing, freeze-thaw cycles and heavy use by commercial vehicles. In addition, ADOT is replacing the I-40 bridge decks over I-17 and Beulah Boulevard at the I-40/I-17 interchange in Flagstaff.

    For more information on these projects, visit azdot.gov/projects. The public can also stay up-to-date on all projects in the Flagstaff area this summer by attending ADOT open houses from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. May 8, June 12 and July 10 at 1901 S. Milton Road in Flagstaff.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
