Current and upcoming US 60X closures and restrictions (click here)
Long-term Meridian Road lane restriction at Main Street begins Dec. 23
The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers in east Mesa and Apache Junction to plan for southbound Meridian Road to be restricted to one through lane at Main Street/Apache Trail beginning 6 a.m. Monday, Dec. 23. Right turns onto Main Street will be maintained. This restriction will be in place for several months to allow crews to perform curb, gutter and sidewalk work.
ADOT advises drivers to slow down and use caution around maintenance personnel and equipment in all work zones.
Traffic to be shifted to inside lane while work occurs on outside lanes, driveways
Work is progressing to the next phase on the Arizona Department of Transportation’s US 60X Sossaman to Meridian Corridor Improvements.
Beginning Monday, Dec. 2, US 60X (Main Street/Apache Trail) will be reduced 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 lane while work occurs in the outside lanes. Access to businesses and residences will be maintained. This phase will take approximately nine months to complete.
Construction for this project began in February 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.
ADOT advises drivers to slow down and use caution around construction personnel and equipment in all work zones.
