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 closures on U.S. Highway 60 for a bridge replacement project:
- U.S. Highway 60 between Superior and Miami (mileposts 227-243) will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21, Wednesday, Oct. 22, and Thursday, Oct. 23.
Detour: Eastbound U.S. Highway 60 drivers use southbound State Route 177 through Winkelman to northbound SR 77. Westbound U.S. Highway 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.
U.S. Highway 60 west of Miami, near milepost 241, will continue to have alternating lane restrictions for east- and westbound travel for flood-damage repairs. Flaggers and a pilot car will assist drivers through the work zone.
Upcoming full closures:
- U.S. Highway 60 between Superior and Miami will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28, Wednesday, Oct. 29, and Thursday, Oct. 30. Detour in place during closures.
