(inherited from collection) - Description:
- U.S. Route 89A is a north-south auxiliary U.S. highway, though its actual direction of travel is more east-west. The state of Arizona has designated this highway the Fredonia-Vermilion Cliffs Scenic Road. The highway is used to access Grand Canyon National Park and is known for the Navajo Bridge. Until 2008, the Utah portion was known as State Route 11. The highway's southern terminus is at U.S. Route 89 south of Page, Arizona. Its northern terminus is in Kanab, Utah, also as US-89. US 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, State Route 67 leads south to the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. Then north to the neighboring cities of Fredonia, Arizona and Kanab, Utah. The Utah portion of US 89A is defined by Utah Code Annotated §72-4-114. 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. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_89A en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_...
