(Redirected from U.S. Route 89A)
'U.S. Route 89A' is a north-south bannered
U.S. highway, though its actual direction of travel is more east-west.
Termini
As of
2005, the highway's southern terminus is at
U.S. Highway 89 south of
Page, Arizona. Its northern terminus is at the
Arizona/
Utah state line south of
Kanab, Utah. The route formerly continued into Utah to rejoin U.S. 89 in Kanab, but Utah now considers this
Utah State Route 11.
This was part of mainline U.S. 89 until the construction of
Glen Canyon Dam. In
1960, U.S. 89 was moved to a new, more northerly route and the old route became U.S. 89A.
U.S. 89A runs near or through
Lee's Ferry, the
Navajo Bridge,
Vermilion Cliffs, the
Kaibab Plateau, and
Fredonia, Arizona. The eastern portion of the highway runs through part of the
Navajo Nation. From
Jacob Lake,
Arizona State Route 67 leads south to the North Rim of
Grand Canyon National Park.
A second segment of U.S. 89A existed from
1941 to
1992. This segment's southern terminus was at U.S. 89 north of
Prescott, Arizona and its northern terminus was at U.S. 89 in
Flagstaff, Arizona. The Arizona Department of Transportation renumbered it as a state route in 1992 as they felt it served only as a regional route and thus did not deserve a national US number.
States traversed
U.S. 89A is entirely within Arizona, though it formerly entered Utah (see above).
