http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/coconino/news/2 ... l-rd.shtmlFlagstaff, AZ —Construction is anticipated to begin this month along a segment of Snowbowl Road (Forest Road 516).
Construction will be adjacent to Snowbowl Road from Highway 180 to Arizona Snowbowl Ski Area. Snowbowl Road will remain open; however, delays and temporary closures will occur throughout the duration of construction, approximately five months.
Parking areas, trails, and Arizona Snowbowl will continue to be accessible seven days a week, and crews will attempt to minimize traffic impacts as much as possible, especially on weekends and holidays. Visitors should expect single lane restrictions, as well as some short-term full closures. In addition, Snowbowl Rd will be closed each day from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
