Blasting work cleanup extends US 60 closure between Superior, Miami

Posted

The Arizona Department of Transportation has extended the closure of US 60 between Superior and Miami due to delays after rock blasting operations.

There is no estimated time to reopen US 60 while crews work to clear large boulders and debris from the work zone following Tuesday’s blasting work.

The highway had been scheduled to reopen at 2 p.m. Tuesday following blasting related to the US 60, Queen Creek and Waterfall Canyon Bridges Replacement Project.

Until the highway can be reopened, a detour will remain on state routes 77 and 177 through Winkelman, ADOT officials said. The roughly 68-mile detour between Superior and Globe takes about an hour and includes a 10% grade.

US 60 between Miami and Magma Mine Road, near milepost 231, will remain open for local traffic only.
