- U.S. Highway 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 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. Given the roughly 75-mile length of this detour, drivers may want to plan travel before 9 a.m. and after 2 p.m. The detour is expected to add an hour to travel time between Superior and Miami.
Upcoming full closures:
- U.S. Highway 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.
