Superior, AZ – Drivers traveling between Superior and Miami should prepare for a full closure of US 60 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 12, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). The shutdown affects mileposts 227–243, halting all eastbound and westbound travel for several hours.
According to ADOT, no closures or lane restrictions are planned for Tuesday, Nov. 11, in observance of Veterans Day. The closure is expected to cause significant travel delays across the Superior area and beyond.
🚗 Detours:
- Eastbound: Use southbound SR 177 through Winkelman to northbound SR 77.
- Westbound: Take southbound SR 77 through Winkelman to northbound SR 177.
The department notes that the detour spans roughly 75 miles and may add about an hour of travel time. Drivers are encouraged to plan trips before 9 a.m. or after 2 p.m. to avoid the heaviest delays.
Motorists traveling to Globe, Miami, or the Superstition Mountains area should check ADOT’s social channels for live updates and traffic maps before heading out.
