SR 264 Corridor Planning Study (in partnership with the Hopi Tribe)

Project Overview

The State Route (SR) 264 corridor in northeast Arizona serves as a major highway for the Hopi Tribe and Navajo Nation, which includes several population centers such as Moenkopi, Third Mesa, Kykotsmovi, Second Mesa, First Mesa, Keams Canyon, and Jeddito. The corridor provides access to essential services, schools, and employment opportunities. In recent years, the Arizona State Transportation Board and the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Northeast District have received concerns about traffic and multimodal safety along the corridor from Hopi Tribal officials and Tribal community members. The ADOT SR 264 Corridor Planning Study will assess the corridor from Moenkopi, at Milepost 321.97, to the Navajo-Apache County boundary, at Milepost 417.58.

Public Involvement

ADOT is seeking input from a wide variety of stakeholders and the public at-large to be used as input in the development of the SR 264 Corridor Planning Study at several points throughout the planning process. During the study, the public will be given opportunities to express their opinions through two primary methods.
