Superior, AZ – Drivers traveling between Superior and Miami should expect major delays this week as the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) temporarily closes a key stretch of US 60. The highway will be closed between mileposts 227 and 243 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 18; Wednesday, Nov. 19; and Thursday, Nov. 20, according to ADOT.
To accommodate traffic, ADOT has established a 75-mile detour that could add up to an hour to travel times.
- Eastbound travelers should use southbound SR 177 through Winkelman to northbound SR 77.
- Westbound drivers should take southbound SR 77 through Winkelman to northbound SR 177.
Officials recommend scheduling trips before 9 a.m. or after 2 p.m. to avoid the full closure period. ADOT notes that the detour route winds through Winkleman and Hayden, so drivers should plan for extended travel times and reduced speed zones.
The closure is part of ongoing maintenance work in the Superior-Miami corridor, a critical route for residents and commercial vehicles in southern Gila County and eastern Pinal County.
