Portion of Meridian Road closed for US 60 construction
Meridian Road is scheduled to be closed in both directions at US 60 (Superstition Freeway) in the Apache Junction area for approximately seven months, starting January 5. The closure will be in place to allow Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to build two new ramps connecting Meridian Road to US 60. The new ramps will allow eastbound traffic to exit and westbound traffic to enter US 60 at Meridian Road.
Although drivers will not be able to use Meridian Road to cross over the US 60 due to ramp construction, access to local businesses will be maintained. While Meridian Road is closed at US 60, Signal Butte Road and Ironwood Drive will serve as north-south alternate routes to cross the Superstition Freeway. Drivers can then use Southern Avenue or Baseline Road to reach Meridian Road.
Meridian is expected to reopen to traffic by late July. The interchange project is expected to be completed at the end of 2015. More information is available on ADOT’s website.
