Overnight Lane Closures Planned for I-17 July 15-19
For 15 years, In&Out Magazine has been the definitive source of “Everything that’s going on” in and out of the community. We thank you, our readers, as well as the businesses that support the magazine through advertising, for that opportunity. But with little going on, and many businesses suspending or canceling their ads during the Covid-19 crisis, we are suspending publication of the magazine and web sites for the month of May.

The $50-million project will replace the Happy Valley roundabouts with a “diverging diamond interchange” that’s expected to significantly increase safety and capacity. The new Pinnacle Peak Road interchange will be a traditional diamond interchange that increases capacity. Also, a fourth general-purpose lane will be added in each direction of the interstate between Deer Valley and Happy Valley roads.
