The New Dove Valley Interchange Will Be Located...

I-17 interchange plan is moved up 15 years to cope with growth, from the Arizona Republic, reports that Phoenix and the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) moved up the Dove Valley Road- Interstate 17 interchange project 15 years from its original date due to the explosive growth that is occurring in the NW Valley. The new Dove Valley interchange will be located about one mile south of Carefree Highway. The construction of this interchange will begin next year with completion in 2009. The idea is to get ahead of the growth curve and have the Dove Valley Road interchange completed before the traffic in that area can get any worse. It will coincide with the expansion of I-17 between Loop 101 and Carefree Highway. MAG projects population in the area bordered by Carefree Highway, Happy Valley Road, 67th Ave. and Cave Creek Road to reach almost 43,000 by 2010, and about 186,000 by 2030.
