Good morning, Flagstaff.

Kaibab National Forest will hold five prescribed burns next month to reduce wildfire risk and protect communities and infrastructure (approval pending from the U.S. Forest Service).
The burns will cover sites in Tusayan and Williams.
The Fourth-Lockett Roundabout project is complete and now opens car and pedestrian traffic at Fourth Street and Cedar Avenue—Lockett Road.

Flagstaff officials announced that the Fourth-Lockett Roundabout Project is complete and open today to vehicles and pedestrians at Fourth Street and Cedar Avenue/Lockett Road.

ADOT will begin pavement improvements on Interstate 40 east of Flagstaff today — the project will update the roadway with enhanced safety and smoother traffic flow.
