The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for the following restrictions for blasting operations as part of a bridge replacement project:
- US 60 east of Superior, between mileposts 227-229, will be reduced to one lane with alternating east- and westbound travel from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, April 7. Flaggers and a pilot car will assist drivers through the work zone.
- US 60 between Superior and Miami (mileposts 227-243) will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, April 8, Wednesday, April 9, and Thursday, April 10.
- Flagging operations will be in effect before and after the full closures.
- 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.
