SHOW LOW AZ (April 16, 2013) – The Arizona Department of Transportation has reopened several highways in the White Mountains that are closed each winter after the first snowfall today.

The following highways have reopened:

State Route 261 between Eagar and Big Lake
State Route 273 between Sunrise Park and Big Lake
State Route 473 between State Route 260 and Hawley Lake

ADOT encourages Arizonans to enjoy the mountains this summer and return safely by observing the following tips:

Make sure you and your passengers are buckled in.
Check your vehicle before you go; proper tire pressure is important.
Be patient (don’t speed and don’t follow other vehicles too closely).
Get an adequate amount of sleep before your trip.
Bring extra water and food.
Build some extra travel time into your schedule.
Never drink and drive.

Before you leave, check for information about highway restrictions across Arizona at ADOT’s traveler information web site, www.az511.gov or dial 5-1-1.
