Road closed due to a crash at County Road 43A. US-285 at mile point 225 Rosalie Rd is fully blocked in each direction due to a multi vehicle crash. Seek alternate route and expect delays.
Yes, you can take Roland Dr to Meadow Dr to 72 and come out at the top of Crow Hill. If you need to get to roads off of Rosalie Dr, take the same route but turn onto Sleepy Hollow Dr from 72.
If it's backed up to the light at Pine Junction, you can take 126 down to Cochise Trail to Holmes Gulch Way to High Meadow Ln to 72. It's a lot longer is all.
As always when taking the back roads, please go slow and take your time. They are not highways and residents often complain of people horribly speeding when taking them as detours around accidents or because of bad weather. Everyone please get home safe, that's what's important.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
Thanks, Sharon, I thought I remembered that there was a way and several years ago we had a paper map that the realtors offered in both of our cars but not sure if there is such a thing anymore.
With the poor cell Internet service up here, it is really hard to navigate.
