WILLIAMS – The Kaibab National Forest is closing the Bill Williams Mountain Road, also known as Forest Road 111, for the winter season beginning at 8 a.m. Dec. 24.

The steep and winding road, which goes to the top of Bill Williams Mountain just south of the City of Williams, is closed seasonally to ensure public safety during snow season.

The temporary closure will be lifted in the spring after the snow and ice thaw.
