US 60 (Superstition Freeway) Loop 101 to Loop 202 Pavement Rehabilitation Project
US 60 (Superstition Freeway) Loop 101 to Loop 202 Pavement Rehabilitation Project
Contents
Overview
Beginning in early January 2023 and continuing through mid-2023, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) will be conducting a pavement rehabilitation project along a 14-mile section of US 60 between Loop 101 and Loop 202.
Project Area
Project Elements
- Removing the existing top layer of asphalt pavement.
- Making any needed repairs to the existing concrete pavement.
- Diamond grinding the existing concrete pavement to provide a smooth roadway surface.
- Replacing lane striping and other pavement markings.
What to Expect
- The project will require ongoing weekend freeway closures Friday night through Monday morning and weekday overnight lane restrictions from 8 p.m. until 5 a.m.
- Lanes will be temporarily striped during construction and permanently striped once the diamond grinding is completed.
- The pavement removal will generate some noise and dust; the contractor will be required to follow Maricopa County dust control requirements.
Project Schedule
Construction is scheduled to begin Jan. 6, 2023 and take approximately six months to complete.
