Flagstaff Update: Road Closures, Train Collision, and Weekend Events

Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Saturday, November 29th, 2025. If you're planning to head north on US 89 in the coming days, mark your calendars for some road work. Starting Tuesday, December 2nd and running through Wednesday the 3rd, northbound US 89 north of Flagstaff will see intermittent closures. These are scheduled between 7 in the morning and 5 in the evening near milepost 430, just north of the Doney Park and Timberline-Fernwood areas. Each closure will last up to 15 minutes as crews perform important drainage system maintenance. The Arizona Department of Transportation is asking drivers to allow extra travel time and plan accordingly if you need to use that route. Speaking of recent developments, Flagstaff Fire responded to an incident on Thanksgiving morning that thankfully ended without injury. A Burlington Northern Santa Fe freight train collided with a truck and trailer that were stuck on the railroad tracks at the Route 66 and Ponderosa Parkway crossing. Remarkably, the people inside the vehicle remained there during the collision with no injuries reported. It's a reminder of how important it is to ensure vehicles clear railroad crossings safely. Now let's talk about what's happening around town today and this weekend. This afternoon from 3 to 4:20 PM, the Sunday Jazz Society is performing at Yucca North. It's a great way to spend your Saturday afternoon enjoying some live music in our community. For those looking for holiday shopping and festive atmosphere, the Sunnyside Holiday Craft Festival is happening at the Market of Dreams on East 7th Avenue. The event runs from 10 in the morning to 5 in the evening, and admission is completely free and open to the public. It's perfect if you're looking for unique handmade gifts or just want to get into the holiday spirit early. Also happening today through tomorrow, Up and Coming in downtown Flagstaff is continuing their Black Friday and Small Business Saturday sales from noon to 6 PM.
