A major snowstorm has hit Sedona and Northern Arizona, closing roads throughout the region. Locally, State Route 179 is technically open but disabled vehicles are making travel difficult. State Route 89A through Sedona is open and both Cooks Hill and the roundabouts have been plowed. State Route 89A from Sedona to I-17 — and throughout Oak Creek Canyon — is closed. Northbound traffic attempting to enter the canyon is being turned around at the north end of Uptown.

The Red Rock Loop Roads are open but 4-wheel drive is recommended.
A winter storm has closed multiple stretches of highway elsewhere in Arizona’s high country. Motorists are advised to stay off roads and delay their travel. Current closures include:
I-17 northbound closed from SR 179 junction to Flagstaff.
I-40 closed from US 93 junction to Winslow.
SR 87 closed from Payson to Winslow.
SR 89 closed from Drake to Ash Fork.
SR 89A closed from Sedona to the I-17 junction.
SR 260 closed from Camp Verde to SR 87.
SR 260 closed from Payson to Show Low.
SR 66 closed from Kingman to 20 miles west of Seligman.
If you encounter a snowplow, do not pass the plow and leave plenty of space between your vehicle and the plow. If you are approaching an oncoming snowplow, slow down and give the plow extra room.
