The Arizona Department of Transportation reopened State Route 88 today, Aug. 23, between Roosevelt Dam and the Apache Lake Marina after a temporary closure due to the threat of storms that had the potential to create hazardous conditions for drivers. ADOT crews evaluated the highway for damage and potential repairs; upon review it was determined that the closure area, which extended from milepost 242 at Roosevelt Dam to milepost 229 at Apache Lake Marina , can reopen.
The area along SR 88 remains vulnerable to flash flood damage as a result of the burn scar, posing a threat to those on the highway and those who may become trapped between areas damaged by flooding that is possible with the incoming storm system. Since 2020, SR 88 has remained closed between mileposts 222 and 229 as ADOT, in consultation with the U.S. Forest Service, continues evaluating conditions along the highway.https://azdot.
