Buckled pavement closes US 89 south of Page – Detour will add 45 miles around closure using US 160 and SR 98

US 89 in northern Arizona is closed because a 150-foot section of pavement buckled this morning about 25 miles south of Page, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

The cause is not related to weather and may be a geologic event.

US 89 is closed northbound at US 89A, which takes traffic west toward Jacob Lake. In Page, US 89 is closed at the junction with State Route 98.

The alternate route to Page will take drivers east on US 160 to SR 98 (about 50 miles) and north on SR 98 to Page. The detour is about 45 miles longer than the direct route.

It is not known at this time how long the road will be closed.

Paving work on SR 74 will impact drivers this week near Wickenburg AZ – Drivers should expect delays up to 30 minutes at SR 74 and US 60 junction.

Crews will continue paving State Route 74 this week that will require delays of up to 30 minutes at the US 60 and SR 74 junction, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Work hours are from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.

Drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes if possible and can expect delays of up to 30 minutes as traffic will be restricted to one lane and guided through work zone with a pilot car.

The work is part of an ongoing 22-mile pavement preservation project that consists of removing a layer of the existing pavement, repaving the roadway and drainage improvements. No weekend or holiday work is scheduled on the project. Weather can affect a project schedule.

The $9 million pavement improvement project is scheduled for completion by early summer.

ADOT advises drivers to proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.
