There will be turnaround spots for drivers prior to the closure areas at the following locations:
South end of canyon:
- Northbound drivers can turn around at the roundabout just north of uptown Sedona.
- Southbound drivers can turn around near Purtymun Lane, just south of Sedona Views Bed and Breakfast.
North end of Canyon:
- Southbound drivers can turn around before the switchbacks at Oak Creek Vista.
- Northbound drivers can turn around near the Cave Springs Campground.
While the closures are in place, a “soft closure” will be set up to enable drivers to turn around or who need local access can get through up to the “hard closure” construction zone.
