The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for the full closure of U.S. Highway 60 between Superior and Miami, mileposts 227-243, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, July 31. The closure is for blasting operations related to the US60, Queen Creek and Waterfall Canyon bridges replacement project.
US60 between Miami and Magma Mine Road (mileposts 231-243) will remain open for local traffic only.
Flagging operations will be in effect from 5 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 1.
Detour: Eastbound US60 drivers will use southbound State Route 177 through Winkleman to northbound SR 77. Westbound US60 drivers will use southbound SR77 through Winkleman to northbound SR177. Due to the roughly 75-mile length of this detour, drivers may want to consider planning travel before 9 a.m. and after 2 p.m. The detour is estimated to add an additional hour for trips between Superior and Miami.
Motorists should plan for lane restrictions and speed reductions in the work zone and a 12-foot vehicle width restriction to be in place for the duration of the project. Oversize loads may be accommodated with advance notice.
For information about closures and traffic delays, go to az511.com.
Note: Drivers who are heading to the White Mountains area should consider a shoulder-widening project along SR260 west of Heber-Overgaard before detouring through Payson along the Mogollon Rim. The 22-mile long project (mileposts 282-304) has multiple flagging stations through the project area.
Drivers should allow extra travel time and be prepared to slow down, use caution and merge safely when approaching and traveling through highway work zones.
