PHOENIX – US 60 has reopened between Superior and Miami after an extended closure needed to safely remove unstable rock exposed Tuesday during blasting operations for a bridge replacement project. The speed limit has been temporarily reduced to 25 mph through the area at milepost 227. 

Full closures for this project, which is replacing the Queen Creek Bridge and Waterfall Canyon Bridge east of Superior, are normally scheduled from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, as needed, for blasting and cleanup. During closures, drivers can detour through Winkelman on state routes 77 and 177.
