Paving is underway on part of a new road connecting state highways 69 and 89, and Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe leaders hope to open it next year.Commonly called the tribal connector, the as-yet-unnamed road will be the shortest way to get from Highway 89 to Highway 69 in Prescott since the Arizona Department of Transportation redesigned the 69/89 intersection in late 2009 and prevented drivers from turning left off Highway 89 onto Highway 69.
