Expect delays and plan for at least a one-hour detour
The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for the following restrictions for blasting operations related to the US 60, Queen Creek and Waterfall Canyon Bridges Replacement Project:
- US 60 between Superior and Miami (mileposts 227-243) will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19, Wednesday, Nov. 20, and Thursday, Nov. 21.
- A lane shift is in place on US 60 at milepost 228 east of the Queen Creek Bridge.

- Flagging operations may 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 hour for trips between Superior and Miami.
Drivers should allow extra travel time, use caution, be prepared to slow down and merge safely when approaching and traveling through all work zones.
Upcoming Full Closures: US 60 between Superior and Miami will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 26, Tuesday, Dec. 3, Wednesday, Dec. 4, and Thursday, Dec. 5.
