As the State Route (SR) 179 Sewer Main Replacement Project: Phase 2 nears completion, the city of Sedona and their contractor, Standard Construction Company, will continue conducting night work and road closures over the next week as crews work to finish repairing additional sewer main that was discovered to be damaged as well as repair concrete that was damaged during sewer repair.
For the week of March 7, 2022, the contractor will continue night work to perform operations that cannot be completed during the day without major traffic implications. Specifically, work will occur on the nights of Sunday, March 6, 2022, to Thursday, March 10, 2022. Traffic control set-up will begin at 8 p.m., with lane closures and a pilot car operation lasting from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. It is possible there will also be day work continuing throughout this time period.
Night work will minimize impacts to local businesses and the traveling public and allow crews to repair damaged sewer main and concrete along SR 179, just west of the Schnebly Hill roundabout. A pilot car operation will be in place during night work to keep traffic moving, despite full lane closures. Please allow extra time to get through the area and follow all marked signage.
Temporary sidewalk and driveway closures will be necessary during the upcoming work. The contractor will coordinate with local businesses to ensure access is provided when possible.
The city will continue to send night work closure updates on a weekly basis or as dates are known.
