Paving along SR 377 to take place over next few weeks

PHOENIX – Arizona Department of Transportation crews will be improving the road surface along the entire stretch of State Route 377 between Heber-Overgaard and Holbrook over the next three weeks with paving operations.

Drivers in the area should budget extra travel time while sections of the highway are narrowed to one lane. Flaggers will be controlling traffic through the area resulting in delays of up to 30 minutes.

Drivers can also use SR 277 and SR 77 to get between Holbrook and Heber-Overgaard.

The work is part of a $4.4 million project that also includes widening shoulders, extending pipe culverts and adding new permanent pavement markings and signage.

Box culvert work closing SR 277 in Snowflake

SNOWFLAKE – The Arizona Department of Transportation will begin a project Monday, Aug. 18 to install concrete drainage pipes across SR 277 at two different locations within the city limits of Snowflake.

The project is scheduled to be completed in two phases and will require the closure of SR 277 for approximately two months.

Both pipe installation locations are on SR277 about two miles from the SR 77 junction in the area of the golf course. The installation of each pipe will be done in a separate phase, and each phase will have a different detour route.

One phase will be done at a time, and all detour routes will be properly marked. Each detour is about 1.5 miles long. The project is expected to be completed by this fall.

ADOT advises drivers to precede along the detour routes with caution, slow down and plan extra time for your commute.
