Updated as of 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12: Eastbound US 60, also known as Grand Avenue, is closed near Olive Avenue in Glendale after a crash at West Royal Palm Road, according to the Arizona 511 alert system.
The Arizona Department of Transportation said drivers should expect delays and use an alternate route. No estimated reopening time was available. Westbound Grand Avenue remains open.
The closure comes during the afternoon commute on one of the West Valley’s main diagonal routes. Drivers headed east toward central Phoenix should check AZ511.gov before leaving and allow extra travel time.
Separate overnight work is also scheduled
The crash closure is separate from scheduled pavement work on Grand Avenue. ADOT has planned a westbound lane reduction between Northern and 75th avenues from 8 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday as part of its pavement rehabilitation project between 85th Avenue and Interstate 17.
ADOT updates the Arizona 511 alert list as conditions change. West Valley Post will update this report if the agency announces that the eastbound lanes have reopened.
