Closures and vehicle-width restriction scheduled on State Route 88 Monday, March 25

Crews set to remove large boulder just east of Tortilla Flat, Canyon Lake

Drivers who use State Route 88 should expect delays - and vehicles wider than 8 feet must use an alternate route - on Monday, March 25, as Arizona Department of Transportation crews remove a large boulder from the shoulder of the roadway near Tortilla Flat.

SR 88 will be closed intermittently in both directions and an 8-foot vehicle-width restriction will be in place between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday near milepost 214, about 1 mile east of Tortilla Loop Forest Service Road and 3 miles east of Canyon Lake.

Drivers should watch for flaggers and be prepared to stop for up to 15 minutes at a time throughout the day as crews use specialized equipment to fracture the boulder into smaller pieces that can be hauled away.  Vehicles wider than 8 feet should delay travel or use an alternate route.
