SUPERIOR — Arizona Department of Transportation announced lane restrictions will take place on U.S. Highway 60, between Miami and Superior, next week.
Highway 60 will closed in both directions between mileposts 227-243 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, July 22, through Thursday, July 24.
Flagging operations will be in effect from 5-9 a.m. before the closures, and from 2-4 p.m. after the closures.
During the full closures, eastbound Highway 60 drivers will be detoured southbound on State Route 177 through Winkleman to northbound SR 77. Westbound US 60 drivers will use southbound SR 77 through Winkleman to northbound SR 177.
The detour is estimated to add an additional hour for trips between Superior and Miami, and 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.
