Crews have reopened five miles of State Route 89A in Oak Creek after the road was damaged earlier this month by flooding, state transportation officials said Wednesday.
Concrete barriers remain along sections of the highway, and temporary traffic signals are in place to manage traffic flow through one damaged area north of Junipine Resort, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. Parking along the highway is prohibited.
Public access has been restored to homes and businesses beyond the original closure at Slide Rock State Park. The highway remains closed from just south of the Pine Flats Campground, which remains inaccessible, to the Oak Creek Vista scenic overlook.
