PHOENIX — The full closure of US 60 between Superior and Miami has been extended due to blasting delays, the Arizona Department of Transportation announced Tuesday.
The highway had been scheduled to reopen at 2 pm. on Tuesday; however, crews are continuing to work to remove large boulders and debris after rock blasting the area. There is no estimated reopening date, according to ADOT.
The blasting work comes after a six-month period of intermittent closures for a bridge replacement project on the highway.
