TRAVEL ALERT: Plan for U.S. 60 overnight full closures in the East Valley this weekend

Expect heavy delays, consider alternate routes or postpone travel while work is underway

Travelers who use U.S. 60 (Superstition Freeway) between Val Vista Drive and Tomahawk Road in the East Valley should expect closures and delays this weekend while pavement-preservation work is underway.  The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for the following closures while crews apply a fog-seal that will help extend the life of the US 60 pavement:

  • Eastbound US 60 will be closed from Val Vista Drive to Tomahawk Road from 10 p.m. Friday, June 7, to noon Saturday, June 8. 
  • Westbound US 60 will be closed from Tomahawk Road to Val Vista Drive from 10 p.m. Saturday, June 8, to noon Sunday, June 9. 
  • North- and southbound Loop 202 ramps to and from US 60 will be closed 10 p.m. Friday, June 7, to noon Saturday, June 8, and 10 p.m. Saturday, June 8, to noon Sunday, June 9. 
  • Drivers may use Southern Avenue or Baseline Road as a temporary detour.

ADOT reminds motorists to use caution around construction personnel and equipment, slow down and be prepared to merge into the open travel lane.
