ADOT adjusts times of full closures of SR 77 for rock blasting operations


Overnight closures between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. begin Sunday, Nov. 6


Motorists traveling on State Route 77 south of Globe will encounter full closures of the highway beginning and ending earlier than previous closures for a rock removal project in the Dripping Springs area.

There will be no full closures of SR 77 next week, but closures between mileposts 154 and 161 will resume the week ofNov. 6 and continue Sunday nights through Thursday nights between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. through late January 2017.

Daytime flagging operations will continue daily in the project area Monday, Oct. 31 through Thursday, Nov. 3 and motorists should plan for 15 minute delays.

When full closures for blasting operations resume Sunday, Nov. 6, motorists can use State Route 177 and US 60 to get around the closure. The detour adds approximately one hour to travel times.

After full nighttime closures resume, the daytime flagging operations will continue as well through late January 2017.

ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but it’s possible that unscheduled closures or restrictions might occur because of weather or other factors. For the most current information about highway closures and restrictions statewide, visit ADOT’s Travel Information Site at www.az511.gov, follow us on Twitter (@ArizonaDOT) or call 511, except while driving.
