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 be narrowed to one lane, with alternating east- and westbound travel, between mileposts 240-243, about three miles west of Miami, from 5 a.m. Monday, June 16, to 6 p.m. Thursday, June 19. And again from 5 a.m. to noon Friday, June 20.
Flaggers and a pilot car will direct drivers through the work zone, and the speed limit will be reduced to 25 miles per hour. An 11-foot vehicle width restrict will also be in place.
In addition, Highway 60 will be reduced to one lane, with alternating east- and westbound travel, between mileposts 227-229, Monday from 5 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
And Highway 60 will closed in both directions between mileposts 227-243 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
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.
