Sedona AZ (September 5, 2014) – Construction on the Airport Road project began on August 18, 2014, and will continue throughout October 2014. Airport Road is located between the northern Forest Service Boundary and Airport Terminal Road at the top of the mesa, off State Highway 89A in west Sedona. The project includes milling and overlay of approximately 4,000 feet and complete asphalt rebuild of approximately 720 feet of the road. A portion of this road rehabilitation project includes trail head parking pavement, striping, and guardrail improvements.

The project is running ahead of schedule. Milling and paving operations are now scheduled for September 22, 23 and 24. During the milling and paving operations, traffic restrictions and delays should be expected. The following restrictions and delays are to be noted:

Milling operations (September 22) from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• No tour buses or delivery trucks will have access through the roadway
• Small vehicles can expect delays ranging from 20 to 30 minutes.

Paving operations (September 23 and 24) from 6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
• No tour buses or delivery trucks will have access through the roadway
• Small vehicles can expect delays ranging from 20 to 40 minutes.

Note: Pedestrians are prohibited within the work area during construction. Safety for all of our residents and visitors is paramount.

Due to the construction activities, traffic control will consist of signage, flags, a pilot car and the parking at the trail head will be closed.

The United States Forest Service will continue to be closing the following trails (two phases, August 20 through September 5 and September 22 through October 13):
