Project Spotlight: US 60 improvements complete in Globe

GLOBE –  Two miles of US 60 through downtown Globe has a new pavement surface following completion of an Arizona Department of Transportation project.

The $4.7 million project removed and replaced the road surface between Santee Street and US 70, mileposts 250-252. Crews also made sidewalk, curb and gutter repairs in the project zone, as well as  guardrail and bridge improvements.

This two-mile stretch of US 60 runs through the heart of downtown Globe, seeing an average of 16,400 vehicles traveling through the area each day. The improved roadway pavement and updated safety elements are creating a safer, smoother drive for those making their way through this beautiful Arizona city.

To reduce traffic impacts, ADOT maintained at least one lane of traffic in each direction. This project supports ADOT’s commitment to safeguarding Arizona’s investment in highway pavement and to empowering the economy in Greater Arizona.
