Globe Viaduct Starts March 31st

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) will begin a preservation project on the US 60 Globe Viaduct on March 31st. The work consists of replacing the bridge deck joint assemblies, repairing a section of sidewalk & bridge barrier, sealing the bridge deck & other incidental work. Truesdell Corporation of Tempe, Arizona is the prime contractor on the $248,000 project, which is scheduled to be completed in mid-April.

Work hours will be from sunrise to sunset Monday through Thursday, & sunrise to noon on Fridays. The viaduct will be narrowed to 1 lane in each direction during the project. Local drivers should consider alternate routes. The Globe Police Dept. will be on-site to monitor traffic flow & insure safe conditions for motorists & workers.
