Daytime closures scheduled on US 60 between Superior and Miami June 16-19

Detour in place during closures from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for the following restrictions for blasting operations as part of a bridge replacement project:

US 60 east of Superior, between mileposts 227-229, will be reduced to one lane with alternating east- and westbound travel from 5:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, June 16. Flaggers and a pilot car will assist drivers through the work zone.
US 60 between Superior and Miami (mileposts 227-243) will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, June 17, Wednesday, June 18, and Thursday, June 19.
- Flagging operations will be in effect before and after the full closures.
- US 60 between Miami and Magma Mine Road (mileposts 231-243) will remain open for local traffic only.

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.

Upcoming full closures and flagging operations:

US 60 east of Superior will be reduced to one lane with alternating east- and westbound travel from 5:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, June 23. Flaggers and a pilot car will assist drivers through the work zone.
US 60 between Superior and Miami will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, June 24, Wednesday, June 25, and Thursday, June 26. Flagging operations will be in effect before and after the full closures.

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.
