As the improvement project nears final completion, ADOT would like to receive feedback from the community and users of the roadway.

I am employed at Kachina and must get to work on time. Since I live in West Sedona, I’d like to know how much extra time to allow. Please advise. Thank you, Anne
Dear Anne:
As a frequent Village to W.Sedona traveler, I allow 20 minutes with proper speed limit observance and good road conditions. With ADOT construction the drive has ranged from that 20 minutes to a once 45 minutes! This reporter can do the middle West Sedona to middle Village run in 13 god willing–with Alka Seltzer in my bottled water anticipating ADOT hurdles beyond every roundabout. Note to ADOT: Spectacular scenery offsets Sedona road rage! So how about it ADOT number crunchers? What’s the official version? The Dodgerman
