Plan for daytime lane closures on State Route 89 near the town of Congress starting May 11

Drivers should use caution and allow extra travel time

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for daytime lane closures on north- and southbound State Route 89 near the town of Congress.

The following restrictions will occur from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. beginning Tuesday, May 11, through Thursday, May 13

  • SR 89 will be narrowed to one lane only with alternating north- and southbound travel between the junction with US 93 (milepost 259) and the base of Yarnell Hill (milepost 272).
  • Flaggers and a pilot car will direct drivers through the work zone.
  • A 14-foot vehicle width restriction will be in place.

The closures are needed for maintenance crews to apply an oil-based sealant to the roadway, which protects and extends the life of the pavement.

ADOT advises drivers to slow down and use caution around personnel and equipment while pavement repairs are underway.
