Jodi Akers: Saving the Apache Trail The Apache Trail (SR-88) has been closed for the past four years because of a rockfall on the most scenic section of the road. The rockfall was the result of more than six inches of rain falling in one day after fire crews extinguished the Woodbury Wildfire, prompting concerns over soil stabilization and continued flooding. The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) then closed the road indefinitely. In September of 2023, ADOT held a public meeting to propose repair options, but a timeline to begin repairs is still to come. Jodi Akers, a longtime resident and former Apache Trail business owner will provide details of the ongoing effort to reopen Apache Trail through to Roosevelt Lake. County officials, state representatives and grass roots community support and lots of money will be needed to save Apache Trail.
