Full closure of US 60 between Superior and Miami planned Sept. 4 and 5
Expect delays and plan for at least a one-hour detour; no closures over Labor Day weekend
The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for the full closure of US 60 between Superior and Miami, mileposts 227-243, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 4, and Thursday, Sept. 5, for blasting operations related to the US 60, Queen Creek and Waterfall Canyon Bridges Replacement Project.
US 60 between Miami and Magma Mine Road (mileposts 231-243) will remain open for local traffic only.
DETOUR: Eastbound US 60 drivers will use southbound State Route 177 through Winkelman to northbound SR 77. Westbound US 60 drivers will 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 hour for trips between Superior and Miami.
Upcoming Restrictions and Closures Sept. 9-12
US 60 between Superior and Miami will be reduced to one lane with alternating east- and westbound travel starting at 5 a.m. and lasting through daylight hours Monday, Sept. 9, and Tuesday, Sept. 10. Flaggers and a pilot car will assist drivers through the work zone. Drivers should be prepared to stop when approaching and proceeding through the flagging operation.
US 60 between Superior and Miami will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 10, Wednesday, Sept. 11, and Thursday, Sept. 12. Flagging operations may be in effect before and after the full closure.
