PHOENIX — A stretch of eastbound U.S. 60 in Mesa is scheduled to be closed overnight Monday for roadway maintenance.

The freeway will be closed between Gilbert and Greenfield roads from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Tuesday as crews conduct pavement sweeping, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Dust and other small debris will be removed following weekend work that got rid of worn asphalt pavement.

The on-ramps at Mesa and Stapley drives will also be closed during that time.

Drivers that have to exit at Gilbert Road can use either eastbound Baseline Road or Southern Avenue as a detour.

Westbound U.S. 60 updates are up next as the freeway will be closed between Greenfield and Gilbert roads from 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday for asphalt pavement removal.
