    Camp Verde AZ (February 18, 2014) – Late-night drivers traveling between Phoenix and Flagstaff tonight need to plan ahead or allow extra travel time as the Arizona Department of Transportation continues work on building a climbing lane on southbound Interstate 17 south of Camp Verde (mileposts 280-282).

    The construction of the two-mile-long climbing lane near the top of Copper Canyon Hill will require a one-hour closure in both directions on I-17 tonight as crews prepare for blasting rock cuts along the highway.

    Tonight from 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., traffic on northbound I-17 will be stopped at State Route 169 junction (milepost 278) and southbound I-17 traffic will be stopped at General Crook Trail traffic interchange (milepost 286) until the area is reopened. 

    ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but there is a possibility that unscheduled closures or restrictions may occur. Weather can also affect a project schedule. To stay up-to-date with the latest highway conditions around the state, visit the ADOT Traveler Information Center at www.az511.gov or call 5-1-1.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
