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, Sept. 4, and Thursday, Sept. 5. The blasting operations are 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.
Detour: Eastbound US60 drivers will use southbound State Route 177 through Winkelman to northbound SR77. Westbound US60 drivers will use southbound SR77 through Winkelman 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 hour for trips between Superior and Miami.
Upcoming restrictions and closures Sept. 9-12 include US 60 between Superior and Miami being reduced to one lane with alternating east- and westbound travel starting at 5 a.m. and lasting through daylight hours Monday, Sept. 9, and Tuesday, Sept. 10. Flaggers and a pilot car will assist drivers through the work zone. Drivers should be prepared to stop when approaching and proceeding through the flagging operation.
US 60 between Superior and Miami will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 10, Wednesday, Sept. 11, and Thursday, Sept. 12. Flagging operations may be in effect before and after the full closure.
Schedules are subject to change based on weather and other unforeseen factors.
Lane restrictions, speed reductions and a 12-foot vehicle width restriction will be in place for the duration of the project. Oversize loads may be accommodated with advance notice.
Real-time highway conditions are available on ADOT’s Arizona Traveler Information site at www.az511.gov, the az511 app (download for Apple or Android devices) or by calling 511.
Drivers should allow extra travel time, use caution, be prepared to slow down and merge safely when approaching and traveling through all work zones.
