US 60 east of Superior to close for blasting operations next week
Motorists using US 60 between Phoenix and Globe next week should plan ahead and consider alternate routes as the Arizona Department of Transportation continues blasting work to build a passing lane and widen roadway shoulders east of Superior.
Construction of the two-mile-long climbing lane from Devil’s Canyon to Oak Flat (mileposts 231-233) will require three full closures, one lasting four hours and two lasting 90 minutes:
>> Tuesday, Jan. 26, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
>> Thursday, Jan. 28, from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and again from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Traffic on eastbound US 60 will be stopped east of Superior (milepost 227), and traffic on westbound US 60 will be stopped at the Top of the World, west of Miami (milepost 235), until the blasting work is completed and debris is cleared.
Approximately 30 minutes prior to each blast, motorists should be prepared for possible delays and lane closures as crews set concrete barrier prior to each scheduled closure.
Motorists seeking an alternate route can consider state routes 77 and 177, which is approximately 68 miles long. Motorists headed to the White Mountains region, including Show Low and Springerville, can take State Route 87 through Payson and travel east on State Route 260.
Drivers should use caution, watch for construction equipment and personnel, and allow extra time.
SR 169 reduced to one lane Monday through Wednesday next week
Drivers will be reduced to one lane from Jan. 25 through Jan. 27 next week on State Route 169 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. as crews repair potholes on a four-mile segment (mileposts 0 to 4).
Traffic will be directed through the work zone in alternating directions and drivers can expect delays of up to 15 minutes.
The work zone will be clearly marked by temporary barricades and signage. ADOT advises drivers to allow additional time to reach their destinations and to proceed through the work zone with caution, comply with the reduced speed limit, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.
