PHOENIX – State Route 77 is closed in both directions due to the Telegraph Fire, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
The southbound lanes are closed at US 70, just past Globe; the northbound lanes are closed at State Route 177 in Winkelman. Residents of Dripping Springs are allowed to travel north on SR 77 to their homes. All other traffic is prohibited in both directions.
There is no estimated time to reopen the highway.
