Big crowd expected at Camp Tontozona east of Payson
Camp Verde AZ (August 3, 2016) – Motorists planning to use State Route 260 east of Payson on Saturday, Aug. 6, should allow extra travel time due to the large crowd expected to attend Arizona State University’s annual Camp Tontozona football scrimmage.
The eastbound lanes between Kohl’s Ranch and Christopher Creek (mileposts 268-272), about 15 miles east of Payson, will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday to 10 p.m. Saturday to allow parking along the eastbound portion of the highway. Eastbound motorists not stopping at Camp Tontozona will be directed to use a lane on the westbound side of the highway with the speed limit reduced in both directions.
Those attending the scrimmage should obey the speed limit and follow signs and message boards to the designated parking area.
More information on attending the scrimmage as well as this week’s Camp Tontozona practices is available at thesundevils.com.
