A section of US 89 near Echo Cliffs has received a new surface as part of a project completed by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) in partnership with the Navajo Nation. The work covered 7 miles between the US 89A junction at Bitter Springs (milepost 524) and Rossman Hill (milepost 531), about 15 miles south of Page. This area includes the highway segment that passes through Echo Cliffs.
The pavement preservation project, which began in June, cost $3.5 million and included chip seal and slurry seal treatments. New striping and rumble strips were also added to improve safety along this stretch.
According to ADOT, “It’s another way ADOT works to safely connect people and empower the economy across Arizona, in this case on the main route between Page and points south. The project also supports ADOT’s commitment to protecting Arizona’s investment in highway pavement and bridges.”
