Potential rockslides on southbound I-17

PRESCOTT – The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is monitoring two slopes adjacent to southbound Interstate 17 between Sunset Point and Black Canyon City.  Heavy rains over the past month have saturated the slopes and increased the potential of rocks falling onto the roadway.

ADOT crews and equipment are on site and engineers are assessing the slopes to determine the steps that need to be taken to protect drivers who use this vital highway between Flagstaff and the Valley.

Drivers are advised to visit ADOT’s Travel Information Site at www.az511.gov or call 5-1-1 for the very latest.
