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. 

ADOT announced a trio of closures planned for this weekend due to the ongoing construction projects.

Southbound I-17 will close between Happy Valley and Pinnacle Peak roads from 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23 to 7 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 24, for bridge work as part of the construction of new overpasses. Southbound I-17 on-ramp at Jomax Road also closed. DETOUR: Alternate routes include exiting southbound I-17 to eastbound Jomax Road and using southbound 19th Avenue to westbound Pinnacle Peak or Deer Valley roads to access I-17.
