Interstate 17: Sunset Point Rest Area Rehabilitation

Overview

The Arizona Department of Transportation has completed a project at the Sunset Point Rest Area facility located along Interstate 17 at milepost 252, approximately 10 miles south of Cordes Junction.

Some of the project improvements include:

• Replacement and upgrade of the sidewalks, landscape, lighting fixtures, doors, sinks, hardware, hand dryers and signage. 
• Renovation of the existing ramadas.

The improvements also make the rest area more accessible for persons with disabilities.
