As part of the Sedona in Motion (SIM) program, the city of Sedona and their contractor, Fann Contracting, Inc., are working to construct the Forest Road Connection Project. The project includes the construction of a new two-lane roadway that will connect the current terminus of Forest Road to a new intersection on State Route 89A, just west of the “Y” roundabouts. Additional work includes the installation of new concrete curb and gutter, retaining walls, a shared-use path, drainage infrastructure, landscape improvements and the extension of sewer infrastructure.
Once complete, this project will allow motorists to bypass two busy roundabouts (while reducing traffic in those roundabouts), provide additional access for emergency responders, add an auxiliary evacuation route, and create a new, off-highway, walk and bike connection between Uptown and West Sedona. The project is scheduled to be finished in spring 2024.
