The Challenge

Construction of approximately eight miles of freeway HOV lanes in the median area of the freeway, the replacement of four bridges, and the widening of an additional 16 bridges. Spanning three cities (Tolleson, Avondale, and Goodyear), the work was located in close proximity to Phoenix International Raceway (PIR) and an MLB Training Facility.

In addition, the work was performed on a heavy Arizona-California travel route, during a time period in which four NASCAR events and Spring Training took place.

Conclusion

Together, from project development through construction, the Team successfully worked across multiple agencies and stakeholders in executing this unique and innovative project. Design, environmental clearances, and construction were delivered on time, and ahead of schedule. The I-10 Median Widening and Reconstruction Sarival Ave. won the 2010 Arizona Transportation Partnering Excellence Award.
