SUPERIOR — The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for the following closures on U.S. Highway 60 for a bridge replacement project:
US 60 between Superior and Miami (mileposts 227-243) will be closedfrom 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, July 29.
The closure previously scheduled Thursday, July 30, has been canceled.
Eastbound US 60 drivers can use southbound State Route 177 through Winkelman to northbound SR 77. Westbound US 60 drivers may 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.
Drivers should allow extra travel time, use caution, be prepared to slow down and merge safely when approaching and traveling through all work zones.
