Plan for intermittent daytime lane restrictions on State Route 179 in Sedona May 1-10

SEDONA — The Arizona Department of Transportation advises Sedona area drivers to plan for intermittent lane restrictions on State Route 179 beginning May 1.

Drivers should allow for extra travel time while the following daytime restrictions are in place from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday, from May 1 through May 10.:

  • SR 179 will be intermittently narrowed to one lane only with alternating north- and southbound travel from Chapel Road to SR 89A (mileposts 310 – 313).
  • Flaggers and a pilot car will guide traffic through the work zone.
  • The speed limit will be reduced in the work zone.
  • Drivers should be prepared to come to a complete stop in the work zone.
  • The restrictions will be lifted after maintenance crews finish each day.

The restriction is needed so crews can safely complete temporary pavement repairs along this stretch of SR 179
