FLAGSTAFF — Lane shifts are set to begin along Cedar Avenue. The City of Flagstaff and contractor, Eagle Mountain Construction, are beginning work on the Cedar Avenue Crossing Project. The project involves replacing the box culvert underneath Cedar Avenue, between Grandview Drive and Monte Vista Drive. The box culvert will be replaced with a larger one to convey post-wildfire flows in Spruce Wash. Preliminary work includes lowering the existing water main in Cedar Avenue to make room for the larger box culvert. This work is set to begin Monday, Dec. 16, with installation of the new box culvert anticipated in spring 2025. Lane shifts along Cedar Avenue will be in place during this work, however, both east and west bound traffic along Cedar Avenue will be maintained at all times. These initial lane shifts will be in place for approximately two weeks.
The City is making significant progress on the Spruce Wash suite of projects, funded by Proposition 441. With the Grandview Drive Reconstruction Project recently completed, crews continue working on the Linda Vista Drive Crossing Project, Cedar Avenue to Linda Vista Drive Channel Project and the “The Wedge” Detention Basin Project. Linda Vista Drive will continue to be closed to all vehicular traffic until spring 2025, with the closure area shifting slightly as needed. Pedestrian and bicyclist access will be maintained through the area during construction. Motorists are asked to follow the marked signage/detour to get to their destination.
The City appreciates your patience and cooperation as we work to complete these important flood mitigation projects.
