News Source: ADOT
The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for the following closures on US 60 for a bridge replacement project:
- US 60 between Superior and Miami (mileposts 227-243) will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14, Wednesday, Oct. 15, and Thursday, Oct. 16.
The following flagging operations will be in effect before the full closures:
- US 60 east of Superior, between mileposts 227-229, will be reduced to one lane with alternating east- and westbound travel from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14, Wednesday, Oct. 15, and Thursday, Oct. 16.
Detour: Eastbound US 60 drivers use southbound State Route 177 through Winkelman to northbound SR 77. Westbound US 60 drivers use southbound SR 77 through Winkelman to northbound SR 177. 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.
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.
Drivers should allow extra travel time, use caution, be prepared to slow down and merge safely when approaching and traveling through all work zones.
