The closures began Sunday, when ADOT closed multiple highways in northern Arizona for heavy rain and flood danger, and crews responded to rockfalls with plow trucks. AZ Family says flooding also forced evacuations and local street closures in Sedona and on White Mountain Apache tribal lands. KTAR reported no estimated time to reopen the closed highways.
