Summary

February 20, 2013 Bitter Spring on Highway 89 near Page, Arizona. (Photo by Arizona Department of Transportation) The Bitter Spring landslide occurred along heavily-used US Highway 89, about 25 miles south of Page, Arizona. The regional landslide complex in which the slide occurred has been recognized since at least since early last century (Gregory's 1917 USGS Professional Paper 93, "Geology of the Navajo Country"). The Arizona Dept. of Transportation (ADOT) will pave Navajo Route 20 (N20) as a detour at a cost of $28 million. Since the landslide occurred in an active landslide area, it is probable that the highway will not be rebuilt over the original route.
