Severe Flooding Forces SR 238 to Shut Down

A section of State Route 238 is closed following heavy rains last night, which caused significant flooding on the road.

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has announced “emergency maintenance” on SR 238 between North Hidden Valley Road and South 99th Avenue. Consequently, all lanes are currently shut down.

ADOT spokespeople have yet to provide details on the specific maintenance taking place.

The road closure, initiated just before 5 a.m., is expected to last until noon today, according to ADOT officials.
