==Route description== I-17 is known as the Black Canyon Freeway from the northern end of the [[Phoenix Metropolitan Area]] to a point {{convert|2.2|mi|km}} south of [[The Stack]] interchange with [[Interstate 10 in Arizona|I-10]] northwest of [[Downtown Phoenix]]. (It is accompanied by [[frontage road]]s for most of this portion, and they carry the '''Black Canyon ''Highway''''' name to distinguish from the ''freeway'' status.) At the Durango Curve southwest of downtown, between the 19th Avenue and Buckeye Road interchanges, it picks up the designation Maricopa Freeway all the way to the southern terminus at the second [[Interstate 10 in Arizona|I-10]] junction. It is one of the metropolitan area's [[Metropolitan Phoenix Freeways|primary freeways]].<ref name="ADOT Highway Log">{{ADOT log|year=2013|accessdate=May 23, 2020}}</ref><ref name="Google"/> It has two interchanges with I-10 in Phoenix.<ref name="Google">{{google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=2790773938709236001,33.427409,-112.042960%3B5160041869956207009,35.177317,-111.661367&saddr=I-17+N+%4033.427409,+-112.042960&daddr=35.177316,-111.661563&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=15&sll=35.172966,-111.671391&sspn=0.015856,0.028925&ie=UTF8&ll=34.347971,-111.934204&spn=2.049897,3.691406&z=8 |title=Overview map of I-17 |access-date=February 15, 2008}}</ref> The northwestern portion of [[Valley Metro]]'s [[Valley Metro Rail|light rail line]] runs over a bridge of I-17 from Mountain View Road to Metro Parkway, serving one station at [[Metro Parkway station|Metro Parkway]].
