As the winter storm impacts our region we encourage you to remain indoors and off of the roadways as there are many road closures in effect due to adverse weather conditions, crashes and disabled vehicles.

The current road closures are:

SR260 in both directions between Star Valley and Heber.  SR 260 EB is closed at MP 228, east of I-17.

SR 87 is closed from Payson to Winslow because of snow and ice.  This closure is from MP 254-337.  SR 87 southbound just south of Payson at MP 250 is closed due to multiple crashes.  SR 87 is closed in both directions at MP 231, south of the SR 188 junction due to multiple disabled vehicles.

US 60 is closed in both directions at Top of the World due to a crash.

Both directions of I-40 and southbound US 93 are closed in Kingman because of snow, ice and multiple disabled vehicles.  The I-40 closure is at Stockton Hill Road, near MP 51.  The US 93 closure is at Coyote Pass, MP 69 which is about 2 miles northwest of I-40.

US 93 northbound at SR 71 near Wickenburg is closed due to winter weather.

I-40 eastbound at SR 95 is closed.  All traffic must head south on SR 95.

SR 89A, just outside of Flagstaff, mileposts 387-398.

If you must be on the roadway, for your safety as well as that of others, please allow yourself extra travel time and distance between your vehicles and others.  Also remember, don’t crowd the plow.  These vehicles plow far and wide.  The front plow extends several feet in front of the truck and may cross the centerline.  Don’t tailgate or stop too close behind the plow as they are usually spreading deicing materials from the back of the truck.  They may need to stop or make evasive maneuvers to avoid stranded vehicles or other obstacles.

Ensure that you have adequate supplies to include medications within your home and vehicle to care for yourself, your family and your pets should there be a power outage or other emergency or your vehicle becomes disabled.
