Forgotten Roadways: Arizona’s Abandoned Highway 60 & Claypool Tunnel
50% Informative
Arizona 's $ 1,000,000 highway was built in 1919 and it cost about $1000,000 to build.
Construction of the highway was mostly completed by 1922 because of how steep and winding the road was.
It took about an hour to drive between Superior and Globe , a drive that takes about 30 minutes now with the United States Highway Systems creation.
The new Queen Creek Bridge was built in 1949 but is not yet listed on the National Register of Historic Places .
The town of Superior started as a supply Center for the nearby Silver King Mine , which was the richest silver mine in Arizona .
There was mining done in this Canyon and as we get closer I do think this looks man made but I'm not sure if it's natural or man made.
The town was also known as Hastings at one point, but the name became Superior in 1902 .
On the other side of the Creek there's an old mine that's been closed off, and down below it there's a big orbin.
We've made it to the town of Superior and about to the end of this abandoned stretch of Hwy. 60 .
