US 60 between Superior and Miami (mileposts 227-243) will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 16, Wednesday, Dec. 17, and Thursday, Dec. 18.

Detour: Eastbound US 60 drivers can use southbound State Route 177 through Winkelman to northbound SR 77. Westbound US 60 drivers may 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:

US 60 between Superior and Miami is tentatively scheduled to be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 23. Detour in place during closures.
