Superior, Arizona – A scheduled US 60 closure between Superior and Miami is expected to add up to an hour of travel time for drivers this week.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, US 60 will be closed between mileposts 227 and 243 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, March 3; Wednesday, March 4; and Thursday, March 5. The closure is part of a bridge replacement project in the area.
Eastbound drivers will be detoured from US 60 onto southbound State Route 177 through Winkelman, then northbound on SR 77 back toward Globe. Westbound drivers will take southbound SR 77 through Winkelman and connect to northbound SR 177 to rejoin US 60 near Superior.
ADOT said the detour spans roughly 75 miles and could add approximately one hour to trips between Superior and Miami during closure hours. Motorists may consider traveling before 9 a.m. or after 2 p.m. to avoid extended delays.
The closure affects a key corridor connecting communities in Pinal and Gila counties, including Superior, Globe, Miami, Hayden and Winkelman. The route is frequently used by regional commuters and commercial traffic moving between eastern Arizona communities.
Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time, follow posted detour signs and monitor official ADOT updates for any schedule changes.
