Delays due to mowers on 87 north of Strawberry

Shoulder work on SR 87 north of Strawberry through April

Drivers should expect delays during work hours

Arizona Department of Transportation crews will be mowing the shoulder on State Route 87 in both directions on a 12-mile segment (mileposts 278 to 290) north of Strawberry through Thursday, May 1. 

During work hours each day, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., traffic will be restricted to one lane through the work zone. Flaggers and a pilot car will direct traffic in alternating directions using the single lane that is open. Delays of up to 10 minutes at a time are possible. 

ADOT advises drivers to proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.  ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but there is a possibility that unscheduled closures or restrictions may occur. Weather can also affect a project schedule.
