SR 179

A section of State Route 89A north of uptown Sedona will be closed the week of Dec. 3-9 for safety as crews do rockfall mitigation work. Drivers should plan on using detour routes along Interstate 17 for travel between Sedona and Flagstaff while SR 89A is closed. More in this news release.

Overnight lane restrictions are scheduled along State Route 179 in the Sedona area starting Sunday night, July 9, while crews do lane striping work. Overnight restrictions are scheduled in areas between the "Y" and Chapel Road through Thursday night, July 13.

Overnight lane restrictions along SR 179 in the Sedona area are set for Monday through Thursday nights, June 5-8, so crews can apply a pavement sealant. SR 179 will be narrowed to one lane with traffic alternating one direction at a time between the SR 89A intersection and Chapel Road.

Those traveling between Interstate 17 and Sedona along State Route 179 will need to plan extra travel time as the highway will be narrowed to one lane between the Red Rock Ranger Station and Chapel Road so Arizona Department of Transportation crews can apply chip seal.

State Route 179 threads through Sedona's stunning Red Rock Country. The highway is about 15 miles long, stretching from Interstate 17 north of Camp Verde to Sedona.

Whether you’re in the driver’s seat or just along for the ride, Arizona has many scenic roads to make your trip worth taking. But, what exactly is an official “scenic road” and who makes that determination?
