ADOT Reopens SR 373 Near Greer

News release from ADOT:

The Arizona Department of Transportation reopened State Route 373, allowing traffic back into the town of Greer (mileposts 386-391). The Wallow Fire in eastern Arizona forced the closure of the nearly five-mile long highway, which is located south of SR 260, on June 6.

Although the highway is now open, ADOT urges drivers to be cautious as efforts continue to bring the fire under control. ADOT is working with fire officials and state emergency managers to ensure the safety of the traveling public and is assisting with traffic control.

In all, approximately 140 miles of state highways are still closed due to several major wildfires burning across Arizona or due to the threat of wildfires. ADOT reminds motorists that the following closures on state highways remain in effect:

US 191 is closed over a 77-mile stretch between Alpine and north of Clifton (milepost 176-253).
SR 261 is closed between the SR 260 junction and SR 273 junction (mileposts 395-413).
SR 273 is closed south of the Sunrise Ski area to the SR 261 junction (mileposts 383-394).
US 180 is closed east of Alpine to the New Mexico state line (mileposts 430-433). The closure extends another 20 miles in New Mexico, to the junction with New Mexico Route 12. For more information: www.nmroads.com.
In southern Arizona, SR 92 is closed between Ramsey Canyon Road and Coronado Memorial Road (mileposts 327-335) due to the Monument Fire south of Sierra Vista.
SR 366 is closed at milepost 118 leading up to Mount Graham (milepost 143) near Safford after the U.S. Forest Service determined the risk of wildfire is too extreme to allow access.
