SUPERIOR – The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers that the normal closure on U.S. Highway 60 for a bridge replacement project has been canceled this week.
Upcoming full closures:
- A full closure of U.S. Highway 60 between Superior and Miami is tentatively scheduled from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, May 28. A detour will be put in place during the full closure.
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 detour’s roughly 75-mile length, drivers may want to plan 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.
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.
Drivers should allow extra travel time, use caution, be prepared to slow down, and merge safely when approaching and traveling through all work zones.
