Route 66 in Flag to be Closed for a Week
Plan for week-long closure of Historic Route 66 in front of Flagstaff City Hall beginning June 10. Drivers should avoid the area, use alternate routes, and allow extra travel time |
The Arizona Department of Transportation is advising motorists who use Historic Route 66 (B40) in Flagstaff to plan for road closures as work continues on the Rio De Flag Bridge replacement project. The following around-the-clock closures on Historic Route 66 (40B) will occur from 9 p.m. Thursday, June 10, through 6 a.m. Friday, June 18. Eastbound travel lanes will be closed at Sitgreaves Street. Westbound travel lanes will be closed at Humphreys Street. Detours: Northbound Historic Route 66 (Milton Avenue) to northbound US 180 (Humphreys Street) traffic will be detoured to east Butler Avenue to north San Francisco Street to access north US 180 (Switzer Canyon Drive). Southbound US 180 (Humphreys Street) to westbound Historic Route 66 (B40) will be detoured to south Beaver Street to west Butler Avenue. Detour signs will be in place to direct drivers around the closure. Drivers on Historic Route 66 (B40) from east Flagstaff can use Switzer Canyon Drive to head north or use Ponderosa Parkway to head south and connect with Butler Avenue to continue west and south. Drivers traveling south on US 180 are encouraged to use Switzer Canyon Drive to Historic Route 66 to bypass construction-related traffic impacts. More information on the project can be found at azdot.gov/riodeflagbridge. ![]() |

![](https://sherwoodforestestatesaz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/MoonsetPit_2021-FINAL-Poster-791x1024.jpg)
Williams, Ariz., April 12, 2021—For Immediate Release. The Kaibab National Forest, in cooperation with the communities of Parks and Sherwood Forest Estates is pleased to announce the reopening of the Moonset Pit on May 8 of this year for residents to dispose of green waste materials from private property.
The pit will be open on the following days this year from 8am to 2pm:
Saturday-May 8, Saturday-May 22, Saturday-June 5, Saturday-June 19, and Saturday-July 10. Users will only be allowed to access and discard natural woody debris such as logs, limbs, branches, brush, needles, and leaves on these dates while staff is present. No bagged substances, lumber, construction material, household garbage or any other items should be deposited at the site.
The Moonset Pit serves the local area providing a location for the disposal of natural forest debris. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of this facility to make their private property more defensible against the threat of wildland fire.
Moonset Pit is located just west of the Parks community on a dirt road east of Spitz Springs on the north side of old Route 66.
Personal Use Cinder Information: Personal use cinder permits are now available from the Williams Ranger District Office. People who wish to acquire a permit will need to call the district office first and make an appointment to come in. Due to the ongoing pandemic and preventive procedures currently in place, a specific set of guidelines will be required to obtain a permit that will require payment by credit card only.

Cinders will only be available for collection on weekends to avoid safety conflicts with Coconino County mining operations.
There are personal use cinders also available to the public all days of the week at the Wright Pit located off Lillie J Ranch road in Parks and the W-Triangle Pit north of Spring Valley.
For information about obtaining permits or questions about all these services, please call the Williams Ranger District office at 742 S Clover Road in Williams. (928) 635-5600.
The success of this community provision is largely attributed to the volunteers of the Parks Area Connection and Sherwood Forest Fire Department who staff the pit on Saturdays during the open hours of operation. This annual service is also supported by the Kaibab National Forest and the Rural Communities Fuels Management Partnership.
