Motorists are asked to remain cognizant of log trucks, heavy machinery and timber debris as both logging and resurfacing operations continue along Rim Road (Forest Road 300) of the Coconino National Forest’s Mogollon Rim Ranger District (MRRD).
Resurfacing work is expected to last through mid-October.
Logging operations will run throughout the next decade as part of a long-term project aimed at restoration of the C.C. Cragin watershed.
Sections of Rim Road may close intermittently for logging operations throughout the next five years. Forest visitors are always encouraged to check road statuses online at coconinonationalforest.us prior to any excursion and are asked to abide by all posted signage and closures.
Forest visitors are asked to avoid recreating in both areas of resurfacing work and in active logging areas for safety reasons.
Motorists can expect to encounter a variety of road repair equipment – such as motorgraders, loaders and mini-excavators – throughout resurfacing operations.
