(Feb. 19, 2010 – 2:15 p.m.) The Coconino County Public Works Department removed the detour on Lake Mary Road, also known as Forest Highway 3, at 12 p.m. today.

On Jan. 15, the Coconino County Public Works Department closed a portion of Lake Mary Road beginning at the north entrance of Mormon Lake (near the scenic overlook) to the south entrance of Mormon Lake. The closure was due to limited visibility caused by drifting snow.

During the closure, traffic was detoured through Mormon Lake Village to ensure the safety of drivers. With warming weather and no heavy moisture forecasted, the detour is no longer necessary.
