While covering March's flooding in Yavapai County, Rimrock resident Cindy Nicholls raised several concerns she has with roads in the county, including Interstate 17. MORE ⬇️
"We love this small-town community," said Nicholls, who's lived in the area for about 15 years."Everybody is friendly. It's a beautiful area...life is good here."
She says that one of her biggest concerns is the bridges over Wet Beaver Creek - both the pedestrian bridge and the bridge cars use to drive over Montezuma Avenue near Sycamore Park."This is the worst we've ever seen it," Nicholls said. She also worries the two bridges aren't safe or practical when this area floods.
County officials also say they monitor the creek levels, and if they reach the bottom chord of the bridge, they would temporarily shut it down. Speaking of I-17, Nicholls says the entire Verde Valley is becoming more of a tourist destination and worries about the crowds of people filling up the freeway.
