Work progresses on Pinto Creek bridge upgrade
ADOT
The first major work on the Pinto Creek Bridge replacement project began in early November with a bang – or to be more precise, a blast.
And crews have kept at it ever since, using explosives to blast away solid rock next to the 70-year-old bridge on US 60 between Superior and Miami. But after three months of blasting operations on most Tuesdays and Thursdays, the most dramatic part of the two-year job is complete.
That also means we’re done with four-hour highway closures when blasting was underway, ending one of the most significant traffic restrictions expected for this project.
