I-17 closure in north Phoenix causes traffic backups

If you haven't noticed, there are big traffic backups in north Phoenix this Mother's Day weekend.

A portion of I-17 was shutdown to clear the way for construction crews, causing some streets to look more like parking lots.

The closure affects southbound lanes along I-17 between SR 74/Carefree Highway and Loop 303.

The shutdown, because of pavement work, is sending drivers onto detours and causing bumper to bumper back-ups.
