Interstate 17

Interstate 17 is one of the two Interstates in Arizona that are entirely within the state. It runs from I-40 in Flagstaff to I-10 in Phoenix. I-17 is the main route for people to take from southern Arizona to get to Flagstaff and vice-versa. I-17 mostly replaced segments of AZ 69 and AZ 79.


Length: 146 miles
Existed since: 1957
Current Route: I-40 in Flagstaff to I-10 in Phoenix
Major Junctions: I-40, AZ 89A, AZ 179, AZ 260, AZ 169, AZ 69, AZ 74, Loop 303, Loop 101, US 60, I-10


Cool Features

I-17 was the first segment of freeway that was built in Phoenix in the mid 1950s.

I-17 is the first Interstate freeway in Arizona to get a DDI interchange. It can be found at Happy Valley Rd. The first DDIs in the entire state can be found on Loop 202. However, the DDIs on Loop 202 are only half DDIs. The Happy Valley DDI is the first full DDI in the state.

I-17's mile markers begin at mile 194 instead of 0. The reason for this is because I-17's mile markers were inherited from AZ 69. AZ 69's mile markers came from old US 89 at mile 201. ADOT used to begin mile markers for highways equal to the mile markers on the highway it branches from. This resulted in the current situation.
