ADOT posted this announcement today:
In light of last week’s landslide that forced the closure of US 89 south of
Page, the Arizona Department of Transportation has launched a range of
communication tools, including a new webpage (www.azdot.gov/us89)
dedicated to keeping the public informed about the status of the closure and
alternate travel routes, complemented by captivating video and photos of the
roadway damage on US 89. [Right, view looking south along US 89. Credit, ADOT]
The
webpage features current and past news releases on ADOT’s efforts to assess the
damage, reroute traffic and determine the long-term plans for the highway.
Videos, photos and blog posts featured on the page demonstrate the significant
damage to the roadway, and a detailed detour map guides motorists along the
roads that are open for travel in the area of the Feb. 20 landslide near Echo
Cliffs.
Since
its debut last week, ADOT’s two-minute-long video (www.youtube.com/ArizonaDOT)
on the damaged pavement has received more than 30,000 views. Photos on the ADOT
Facebook page have been shared more than 7,000 times. ADOT’s next video will
highlight the geotechnical engineers’ efforts to assess the stability of the
mountain slope.
Users
of the webpage can also sign up for updates on the US 89 closure. The public
can also contact the Project Hotline toll-free at 1.855.712.8530 or via email
at projects@azdot.gov.
US
89 will remain closed for the immediate future. There is no timetable to reopen
the highway, which has approximately 500 feet of damage, including 150 feet of
pavement that settled four-to-six feet due to a landslide and failure of the
slope.
