Intermittent daytime lane restrictions on US60 east of Superior begin May 6

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for frequent intermittent daytime lane restrictions lasting approximately 15 minutes on US60 east of Superior, between milepost 227-231, for construction activities as the US60, Queen Creek and Waterfall Canyon Bridges Replacement Project begins.

Drivers should prepared for:

• Onsite flaggers and a pilot car to direct drivers through the work zone.
• A 14-foot vehicle width restriction to be in place. Oversize loads may be accommodated with advance notice.
• The speed limit will be reduced in the work zone.

Starting May 15, full closures of US60 will begin between Superior and Miami 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for rock blasting. During the full closures of US60, traffic will be detoured on state routes 77 and 177. Due to the roughly 75-mile length of this detour, drivers may want to consider planning travel before 9 a.m. and after 2 p.m.

Drivers should allow extra travel time and be prepared to slow down, use caution and merge safely when approaching and traveling through highway work zones.
