GLOBE – A rockslide caused by heavy rain has forced the closure of US 60 through the Salt River Canyon (milepost 289 to 299), according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. ADOT crews are working to clear the roadway, but there is no estimate at this time on the duration of the closure.

ADOT recommends drivers traveling between Globe and Show Low can use State Routes 188, 87, and 260 through Payson. Drivers traveling between Phoenix and Show Low can use State Route 87 and State Route 260 as an alternative.
