Building in the Fast Lane--State Route 202 Expansion Poised for Early Completion

摘要

The State Route 202 expansion project in Phoenix and its suburbs is heading for early completion. The 188-million dollars reconstruction of SR 202-an integrated joint venture of lead partner Kiewit Corp.'s Phoenix office and Sundt Construction of Tempe for the Arizona Dept. of Transportation-adds a 10-mi eastbound through-lane and auxiliary lanes between Interstate 10/State Route 51 and State Route 101 and a 2-mi westbound through-lane and auxiliary lane between SR 101 and Scottsdale Road. Designed by San Francisco-based URS Corp., the design-build project also directs the Kiewit/Sundt team to manage traffic control during construction; widen the roadways and 22 bridges including the 1-mi-long Salt River bridges; reconstruct ramps; build noise and retaining walls; modify the drainage system; complete landscaping; and install an updated freeway management system.
