SUPERIOR – The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for the following restrictions for blasting operations as part of a bridge replacement project:
- U.S. Highway 60 east of Superior, between mileposts 227-229, will be reduced to one lane with alternating east- and westbound travel from 5:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, June 23. Flaggers and a pilot car will assist drivers through the work zone.
- U.S. Highway 60 between Superior and Miami (mileposts 227-243) will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, June 24, Wednesday, June 25, and Thursday, June 26.
- Flagging operations will be in effect before and after the full closures.
- U.S. Highway 60 between Miami and Magma Mine Road (mileposts 231-243) will remain open for local traffic only.
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 approximately 75-mile length of this detour, drivers may want to consider planning their travel for before 9 a.m. or after 2 p.m. The detour is estimated to add approximately one hour to trips between Superior and Miami.
Upcoming full closures and flagging operations:
- U.S. Highway 60 east of Superior will be reduced to one lane with alternating east- and westbound travel from 5 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, June 30, and from 5 a.m. to noon Thursday, July 3. Flaggers and a pilot car will assist drivers through the work zone.
- U.S. Highway 60 between Superior and Miami will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, July 1, and Wednesday, July 2. Flagging operations will be in effect before and after the full closures.
