Superior, AZ – Drivers traveling between Superior and Miami should plan for major daytime closures on US 60 this week as the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) continues the Queen Creek/Waterfall Canyon Bridges replacement project.
According to ADOT, US 60 will be closed from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 28, Wednesday, Oct. 29, and Thursday, Oct. 30 between mileposts 227–243. The closure affects both directions of travel between Superior and Miami.
The project, part of ongoing safety upgrades, will require full daytime closures to allow crews to work safely on bridge structures. ADOT officials note that US 60 west of Miami (milepost 241) will continue to have alternating lane restrictions due to earlier flood-damage repairs.
Detours:
- Eastbound: Use southbound State Route 177 through Winkelman to northbound SR 77.
- Westbound: Use southbound SR 77 through Winkelman to northbound SR 177.
The detour is roughly 75 miles long and may add up to an hour of travel time. ADOT advises drivers to plan ahead and travel outside the 9 a.m.–2 p.m. closure window when possible.
