US 60 paving project to begin July 6

June 26, 2009

GLOBE – The Arizona Department of Transportation will begin a project on July 6 to repave 7.8 miles of US 60 west of the Salt River Canyon from Timber Mountain to Seneca. A layer of pavement will be removed from the roadway surface and a new layer of pavement plus a layer of rubberized asphalt will be applied.

The project is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Work hours will be 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. One lane of the highway will be open with vehicles allowed to pass through the work zone in alternating directions. Drivers should anticipate delays of 20 to 30 minutes. The project is scheduled for completion in mid-August.

ADOT advises drivers to proceed with caution, obey all posted speed limit signs and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.
