SUPERIOR – The Arizona Department of Transportation is advising drivers to plan for overnight closures of U.S. Highway 60 between Superior and Miami for bridge construction work the nights of Tuesday, Nov. 17, and Wednesday, Nov. 18.
ADOT is closing the highway to install concrete girders as part of a project to replace the Queen Creek bridge east of Superior.
The closures are scheduled from 9 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17, to 4 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, and again from Wednesday to Thursday, Nov. 19.
During the closures, 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.
Because this detour is roughly 75 miles long, drivers may want to plan travel before 9 p.m. and after 4 a.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. Oversize loads may be accommodated with advance notice.
