UPDATE: Road closure on US 60 between Superior and Miami cancelled July 17

Plan for daytime lane restriction and closures on US 60 between Superior and Miami July 22-24

US 60 detour map

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers that the July 17 road closure on US 60 between Superior and Miami (mileposts 227-243) from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. has been cancelled. Alternating east- and westbound lane restrictions between mileposts 227-229 will be in place from 5 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Next week restrictions:

Drivers should plan for the following restrictions for blasting operations as part of a bridge replacement project:

  • US 60 between Superior and Miami (mileposts 227-243) will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, July 22, Wednesday, July 23, and Thursday, July 24.
    • Flagging operations will be in effect from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. before the full closure and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m after the full closure.
    • US 60 between Miami and Magma Mine Road (mileposts 231-243) will remain open for local traffic only.

Detour: Eastbound US 60 drivers use southbound State Route 177 through Winkelman to northbound SR 77. Westbound US 60 drivers use southbound SR 77 through Winkelman to northbound SR 177. Due to the roughly 75-mile length of this detour, drivers may want to consider planning 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.


Upcoming full closures and flagging operations

  • US 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, July 28. Flaggers and a pilot car will assist drivers through the work zone.
  • US 60 between Superior and Miami will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, July 29, Wednesday, July 30, and Thursday, July 31. Flagging operations will be in effect before and after the full closures.
