Peoria, AZ – Drivers in the West Valley are facing major delays this morning after westbound lanes of US 60 were shut down in Peoria following a crash near 77th Avenue.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), the closure was reported at approximately 7:35 a.m. and remains in effect as crews respond to a collision near the intersection of US 60 (Grand Avenue) and 77th Avenue. The crash forced officials to close all westbound lanes, impacting commuters traveling through Peoria and nearby Glendale during the busy morning commute.
The closure affects a key stretch of Grand Avenue, a heavily traveled corridor connecting multiple West Valley communities. Traffic maps show congestion backing up near Peoria Homes, Pinecrest, and areas approaching Glendale, with drivers being diverted onto local surface streets.
ADOT officials are urging motorists to avoid the area if possible and use alternate routes, including Northern Avenue, Olive Avenue, or Glendale Avenue, depending on their destination. Eastbound traffic was not reported as affected at the time of the alert.
No injuries or estimated reopening time have been announced as of this morning. ADOT crews and emergency responders remain on scene, and conditions may change quickly as the crash investigation and cleanup continue.
Drivers are encouraged to check AZ511.gov or the AZ511 mobile app for real-time traffic updates, detour information, and lane status before heading out.
