SUPERIOR – 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, Nov. 25.
    • No lane restrictions or closures are planned over Thanksgiving weekend, Nov. 26 – Dec. 1.

Detour: Eastbound U.S. Highway 60 drivers can use southbound State Route 177 through Winkelman to northbound SR 77. Westbound U.S. Highway 60 drivers may use southbound SR 77 through Winkelman to northbound SR 177. Due to the roughly 75-mile detour, drivers may want to consider planning travel before 9 a.m. or after 2 p.m. The detour is estimated to add an additional hour for trips between Superior and Miami.

Upcoming full closures:

  • U.S. Highway 60 between Superior and Miami will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 2, Wednesday, Dec. 3, and Thursday, Dec. 4. A Detour will be in place during closures.

Schedules are subject to change based on weather and other unforeseen factors. Lane restrictions, speed reductions, and a 12-foot vehicle width restriction will be in place for the duration of the project. Oversized loads may be accommodated with advance notice.
