Full closure of US60 between Superior, Miami Sept. 10-12

Expect delays and plan for at least a one-hour detour

Posted

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. Tuesday, Sept. 10, Wednesday, Sept. 11, and Thursday, Sept. 12. 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.

US60 between Superior and Miami will be reduced to one lane with alternating east- and west-bound travel from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. 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. Note: The flagging operation on Tuesday, Sept. 10, will be in effect before and after the full closure.

Detour: Eastbound US60 drivers will use southbound State Route 177 through Winkelman to northbound SR 77. 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. 16-19
