Storm Flooding Closes East-Central Arizona Highway
Flooding and debris from storm runoff closed a 17.5-mile stretch of U.S. between Superior and Miami in east-central Arizona, authorities said.
The Arizona Department of Transportation said there was no estimated reopening time.
U.S. 60 is a major route between metro Phoenix and eastern Arizona’s high country.
The highway segment was closed as numerous storm cells paraded across the region, prompting the National Weather Service to issue flood advisories in areas near Casa Grande, Fountain Hills, Maricopa, Apache Junction and Coolidge.
“Be aware that areas of flooding may cause significant inconvenience. Use extreme caution on roads. Do not walk or drive through flooded streets or around barricades,” one advisory stated.
