Electrical work in US 60 Queen Creek Tunnel to bring restrictions Tuesday


The Arizona Department of Transportation will install a backup power source for lighting in the newly upgraded Queen Creek Tunnel on US 60 on Tuesday, Jan. 31.

Work to install the “Uninterruptable Power Supply,” which will provide electricity to the tunnel lighting in the event of a power failure in the area, will require one eastbound lane to be closed from 6 a.m. until 2 p.m. Tuesday.

One lane of traffic will remain open in each direction during the work, which will include testing of the backup system.

The project to provide improved visibility for motorists passing through the tunnel, located east of the town of Superior, will be complete with an addition of the backup energy source.

ADOT thanks the motoring public for their patience during this work.

Drivers should proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down and watch for construction personnel and equipment.
