The widening of I-10 from Prince Road to 29th Street is to date the largest awarded single ADOT roadway improvement project in southern Arizona. The project was a joint venture with Kiewit Western Company and Sundt Construction, Inc. Budgeted at $200 million, the project was designed to accomplish its goals with the least impact to the traveling public and the surrounding areas in the following ways:
• Reduce construction from 10 years to 3.5 |
• Build a Traffic Operations Center |
• Keep 8 arterial cross streets open |
• Provide professional advice to businesses |
• Keep 2 lanes in each direction on I-10 open |
• Implement extensive signing |
• Keep 6 frontage road lanes open for local traffic |
• Offer alternative commuting methods |
• Keep frontage road speed limits of 40-45 mph |
