The Arizona Department of Transportation has advised drivers that all traffic-control and vehicle-size restrictions will be lifted on State Route 89A in Oak Creek Canyon by the end of the day on Monday, Dec. 19.
While SR 89A will be open to all traffic as crews finish construction activities prior to the project shutting down for the winter, temporary lane restrictions will periodically occur through the end of December to complete some roadway elements.
The restrictions were needed as crews worked on the Pumphouse Wash Bridge rehabilitation portion of the SR 89A Oak Creek Canyon Improvements project, which also includes rockfall mitigation and erosion control work.
Construction activities will resume in spring 2023 to complete the rockfall mitigation and erosion control work.
Restrictions next year will include a week-long daytime full closure of State Route 89A just north of Sedona at milepost 375, near Midgley Bridge. Visit azdot.gov/SR89A for additional project information.
