On Wednesday, from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., utility work is shutting down the road between Kensington Dr and Seville Ln. While the thoroughfare rests, vehicles will be rerouted via Seville Ln, Barrow Ave, and Kensington Dr; however, access to the Coconino County Detention Facility and Juvenile facility will remain clear, as stated by the City of Flagstaff's announcement.

Lane shifts and single lane closures will scatter across the city for pavement marking and utility work; involved streets include Needles St, Beulah Blvd, and Kendrick St, among others, with the potential for inconveniences stretching as far as Switzer Canyon Dr and Lynch Ave which could lead to delays for drivers who are not aware of the changes so be prepared if you're going to travel through those areas. These updates come from the city's ongoing Road Repair and Street Safety Program, aiming to maintain and improve Flagstaff's streetscape.

Specific spots like William Rd, Leroux St, and Kendrick St are subject to shoulder closures for concrete repairs, so be ready for some steering adjustments. The scheduled dates, all falling within the last week of June, are the city's way of keeping its foundations in check. For more details on when and where to expect these repairs, the City of Flagstaff's website has the scoop.

Any head-scratching questions or if detour maps are needed, they can be addressed directly. Flagstaff Project Manager Jarrett Nelson is the point person for these street affairs, reachable via email at [email protected]
