SR 89A reopens between Sedona and Flagstaff

Post Date:07/13/2026 7:15 a.m.

Please see the following announcement from the Arizona Department of Transportation regarding the reopening of State Route 89A north of Sedona. There may be limited access to recreation sites in Oak Creek Canyon due to the effects of the Pocket Fire. Check https://www.fs.usda.gov/r03/coconino/alerts/pocket-fire-information for recreation site and trail closure information.

After being closed due to the Pocket Fire, State Route 89A has reopened between Sedona and Interstate 17 (mileposts 374-397) near Flagstaff.

Fire suppression activities in the area continue and motorists can expect increased fire response traffic in Oak Creek Canyon and the possibility of intermittent road closures to support these efforts.

Information about the fire, including evacuation statuses and other resources, can be found at InciWeb.wildfire.gov, the U.S. Forest Service - Coconino National Forest and Coconino County.

Motorists can expect lane restrictions on SR 89A Mondays through Thursdays between Pine Flat Campground and the Oak Creek Vista scenic overlook (mileposts 387-390) due to a previously scheduled guardrail improvement project.

Flagging operations in the area will allow traffic to travel through the work zone one direction at a time. A 12-foot vehicle width restriction is in effect. North- and southbound SR 89A lanes will be open Friday through Sunday.

Real-time highway conditions are available on ADOT’s Arizona Traveler Information site at az511.gov, the AZ511 app (download for Apple or Android devices) or by calling 511.
