Daytime US 60X (Main Street/Apache Trail) intersection closure planned April 22

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for the following intersection closure for electrical work:

  • North- and southbound Signal Butte Road will be CLOSED at Main Street/Apache Trail from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, April 22.
    • Northbound Signal Butte Road Detour: Northbound drivers coming from south of the intersection may consider taking eastbound Main Street to northbound Mountain Road to westbound University Drive to access Signal Butte Road north of the closure. 
    • Southbound Signal Butte Road Detour: Southbound drivers coming from north of the intersection may consider using southbound Merrill Road to eastbound Main Street to access Signal Butte Road south of the closure. 

NOTE: East- and westbound through travel on Main Street will be permitted at Signal Butte Road. Right turns from Main Street also will be permitted.

ADOT advises drivers to use caution and be prepared to slow down and merge safely when approaching and traveling through all work zones.

Ongoing: Traffic shifted to inside lane while work occurs on outside lanes and driveways

US 60X (Main Street/Apache Trail) is currently narrowed to one lane in each direction between Ellsworth and Meridian roads to allow crews to work on paving, sidewalks, bike lanes, curbing, drainage and driveways.

Drivers will use the inside lanes while work occurs in the outside lanes. Access to businesses and residences will be maintained.

Overview

The Arizona Department of Transportation has started a construction project to improve US 60X (also referred to as Old US 60, Apache Trail or Main Street) between Sossaman and Meridian roads. The project will enhance safety and business access, improving drainage conditions with installation of driveways, curb and gutter infrastructure and sidewalks, boosting mobility for all modes of transportation. Upon completion of this project, responsibility for this roadway will be turned over to the Maricopa County Department of Transportation.

US 60 Sossaman Meridian Project Cross Section

Median Crossover Improvements

Construction for this project began in Feb. 2024 on the inside (median) portion of the road. Crews worked on curbing, paving, medians, drainage improvements and utility relocation. Many of the median crossovers along Main Street/Apache Trail were improved by lengthening or adding new turn bays while others were removed (see map below) to improve traffic flow and safety by reducing the number of turning movement conflicts. Please note that the 88th Street median crossover is currently closed, but will be reopened to traffic.
