ADOT protecting native plants along I-17 as part of Improvement Project between Anthem Way and Sunset Point
Crews have started removing native vegetation, including saguaros, palo verde trees and ocotillos, along the 23-mile project corridor so it can be cared for and closely monitored during construction, then eventually replanted alongside an improved wider highway. “October is usually the prime time for salvaging the plant material, just because our temperature is not too hot and not too cold,” said David Casselbury, a landscape architect with ADOT. “We’re hoping the general public will enjoy driving along the highway and seeing this plant material back in its natural environment once the project is complete.”
