Project to resurface US 60 north of Globe starting Aug. 6
Drivers should expect narrowed lanes and reduced speed limit
GLOBE–
A pavement improvement project to resurface four miles of US 60 from
the US 60/70 Junction in Globe to the Gila County Fairgrounds (mileposts
252-256) will begin Aug. 6, according to the Arizona Department of
Transportation.
The
$431,000 project, which is scheduled for completion by the end of
August, will involve the placement of a microseal surface on the
roadway. A microseal is a mixture of asphalt, water, and small rock that
preserves and extends the life of the pavement.
Work
is scheduled to start in Globe at the US60/70 junction and proceed
north. Flaggers and pilot cars will be used to guide vehicles through
the work zone in alternating directions and drivers should anticipate
delays up to 30 minutes.
Work
hours will be from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Traffic
lanes will be narrowed and the speed limit will be reduced through the
work zone.
ADOT
advises drivers to proceed through the work zone with caution, slow
down, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.
ADOT
works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but
there is a possibility that unscheduled closures or restrictions may
occur. Weather can also affect a project schedule. To stay up-to-date
