The community of Ash Fork has always had a knack for being at the right place when it comes to popular transportation.

This photo of a stunning view led us to a small footnote in the history of US 66 in northern Arizona.

PHOENIX – West Route 66 in Flagstaff is going to be narrowed to one lane in each direction overnight for the next five weeks starting Monday, June 17, while the Arizona Department of Transportation installs a pedestrian hybrid beacon at the intersection with Blackbird Roost Street.

Work along Route 66 will occur overnight between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. Mondays through Fridays. No work will be scheduled on weekends or holidays. Drivers should expect delays.

Information about how the beacon works is available at azdot.gov/phb.

While we're replacing decks on three bridges along the route between I-40 and Seligman's west side, there's convenient access from I-40 to the town's east side.

Visit historic Route 66 without leaving your sofa on our photo tour.

Watch the video presentation of the award for best license plate. You'll also catch a few classic cars sporting the Route 66 plate.

Arizona has been recognized three times with the “Best New License Plate” award.

Annual fun run of vintage vehicles will motor west on Route 66 from Seligman to Topock.
