Construction is underway on SR 89A in Oak Creek Canyon. Vehicles wider than 8 feet and longer than 30 feet won't be allowed to pass through construction zones. Drivers must use I-17 to get to either Flagstaff or Sedona. Visit for more information.
Rockfall Mitigation
The rockfall mitigation work will help reduce the potential of rocks falling onto the roadway at two locations along SR 89A. The first location is north of Sedona city limits at milepost 375, and the second location is located in the switchback section of the roadway at mileposts 388-389. To ensure the safety of drivers and work crews during rock-removal operations, intermittent closures of some parts of the highway will be necessary. A schedule of traffic restrictions will be provided prior to work beginning.The work consists of drainage and sediment-control improvements by reducing erosion to preserve deteriorating slopes and reduce downstream pollution.
This helps address increasing construction costs, the challenges of working on a narrow-and-winding canyon road and the complexity of the work. It will also help better coordinate traffic impacts required to complete the work.With the exception of limited daytime and overnight closures, SR 89A will remain open to traffic. Traffic restrictions using a combination of temporary traffic signals and/or flagging operation will be in place while the improvements are under construction.
No closures or traffic restrictions will be allowed during weekends and state holidays. Schedules are subject to change based on weather and other unforeseen factors.ADOT will post information a minimum of seven days in advance of full closures and will post information about traffic restrictions as they become available.
