US 89

Atop a bridge in Page, just a couple miles from the Arizona-Utah state line is a picturesque view or, if you’re afraid of heights, an absolutely terrifying one.

We’re talking about the Glen Canyon Dam Bridge, which, when it was built in 1959 was the highest arch bridge in the world. It’s no longer the highest in the world– that honor goes to Chenab Rail Bridge in India – but at 700 feet high, it’s still way up there.

Upgraded speed limit signage and pedestrian crossing signage on US 89 entering the community of Yarnell are among the immediate measures being taken by the Arizona Department of Transportation to address safety issues following a recent fatal crash between a vehicle and a pedestrian. 

Flooding and heavy rain took our a section of US 89 near Cameron. Now, we're working to make permanent repairs to the damaged section of highway. 

PHOENIX – The Arizona Department of Transportation is starting a project this week to make permanent repairs to a section of US 89 near Cameron that was washed out when the state was hit with severe rain from remnants of Hurricane Rosa in October 2018.

ADOT was able to complete emergency repairs of that 30-foot section of US 89 in less than 48 hours after the road washed out to ensure motorists had a safe driving route to a large area of northern Arizona.

There are many highways in Arizona named in honor of veterans, but portions of three in the northeast part of the state seek to honor Native Americans who have served in the military.

This photo looks pretty ordinary, but this scene actually holds a lot of state transportation history.

What does it take to cross the Little Colorado River? The answer is more than a century and three different bridges.

In 1909 the Territory of Arizona proposed building a north-south highway between Prescott and Phoenix. A year later, construction started in earnest. We look back at this territorial road 110 years later.

The recent emergency repairs to US 89 in northern Arizona illustrate the importance of partnerships.

Photos and videos shared through our social media accounts helped tell the story of our nonstop efforts that reopened US 89 in less than 48 hours.

Working around the clock to protect motorists and restore a key route through northern Arizona, the Arizona Department of Transportation has reopened US 89 after flooding severed the roadway late Wednesday between Flagstaff and Page.

An Arizona photographer has traveled tens of thousands of miles to document US 89.

We’ve said it all along: Working for ADOT can be a real blast. Check out videos illustrating this point.

Major upgrades have just been completed on a four-mile, four-lane stretch of US 89 in Cameron.

US 89 through the Navajo Nation community of Cameron has a wider roadway, two new bridges over the Little Colorado River, a modern roundabout at the junction with State Route 64, and underpasses for people and livestock thanks to a recently completed Arizona Department of Transportation project.

A postcard image takes us back in time to look at the iconic bridge in Cameron as we look at the modern bridge ADOT has created alongside it.

Today we’re taking you on a unique drive through Cameron on US 89 north of Flagstaff.

You’d think after 43 blog posts, 26 videos and hundreds of photographs, that we might be out of new things to say about the US 89 landslide repair project. But we’re not!

We have good news for drivers up north – work on the new roundabout at US 89 and Haul Road in Page is complete.
