FLAGSTAFF, Arizona (AP) – State transportation officials are advising drivers to schedule a week-long lock on Historic Route 66 in downtown Flagstaff for bridge work starting Thursday.
The Arizona Department of Transportation announced that diversion signs will be in place to direct traffic around the closure of Historic Route 66, also known as Business Loop 40, in front of Flagstaff City Hall.
This closure includes part of the intersection with US 180 known locally as Humphreys State, which is a route between Flagstaff and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
The various signposted detour routes such as Butler Avenue and Switzer Canyon Drive are designed to help motorists avoid the lockdown in downtown Flagstaff.
The department said part of Historic Route 66 will be closed to allow crews to install prefabricated bridge girders and pour a new deck for the Rio de Flag Bridge.
