Plan for closure of State Route 88 near Tortilla Flat Tuesday, Dec. 12

Six-hour closure needed to remove boulder as part of improvement project underway

The Arizona Department of Transportation will be closing State Route 88 in both directions near Tortilla Flat from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 12 to remove a boulder near the roadway.

The temporary closure is needed to topple the “Praying Mantis” boulder located on a cliff adjacent to the road. As part of the SR 88 safety improvement project, the boulder will be removed in advance of paving that is scheduled to begin in early 2018.

No traffic will be allowed through the closure, which will be in place between milepost 211 (entrance to Laguna Recreation Site) and milepost 213 (Tortilla Flat), with turn-arounds available for vehicles at both locations.
