→State Route 587, also known as SR 587, is a state highway in south-central Arizona that travels from its junction with State Route 87 just south of Sun Lakes directly south to Interstate 10 in Bapchule. The entire highway is just six miles (10 km) long, traveling entirely within the Gila River Indian Reservation, and serves as a shortcut from the far southern suburbs of the Phoenix metropolitan area to Interstate 10. Its local name is Casa Blanca Road.
This highway was formerly part of State Route 387 and State Route 93.

The route was not part of the state highway system at this time.[3] By 1961, the route had become part of SR 93, a route from Nogales to Kingman.[4] The route was redesignated to SR 587 in 1985 when SR 93 was removed from the state highway system.[5]
