State Route 98 (SR 98) is a state highway inCoconino County in theU.S. state ofArizona.
SR 98 begins at an intersection withUS 89 just south of theGlen Canyon Dam along theColorado River. It runs along the southern portion of the city ofPage and turns southeast to theNavajo Nation. It enters the town ofKaibito in the reservation, but otherwise the stretch through the Native American reservation is mostly devoid of settlements. Following Indian Route 22, SR 98 intersects Indian Route 221 just north of its eastern terminus atUS 160, the Navajo Trail.[3]

The route was established in 1974, when portions of former Indian Route 22 were given to theArizona Department of Transportation to establish as a state highway, as routed today.[4] Portions of the route were realigned inPage when portions of the route were redefined asState Route 989.[5] This portion in Page was later relinquished by ADOT to the city ofPage.[6] Four years later, the rest of the route was designated as a scenic road.[7]
In 2013, due to the buckling ofU.S. Route 89 south of Page, the route became one of the major detour routes from the South Rim to the North Rim of theGrand Canyon.[8]
