Interstate 10, Pinal Air Park TI to Cortaro TI, Tucson, Arizona
EEC provided photogrammetry, design surveys and construction documents for the widening of 15 miles of I-10 from four to six lanes (3 eastbound, 3 westbound). The $40 million project included widening 12 bridge structures at Marana Road, Tangerine Road, two railroad overpasses, Avra Valley Road and Cortaro Road. The project also included widening of two ramps at the Cortaro TI and the widening of Cortaro Road under the I-10 overpass to provide two additional "abutment lanes".
US 60, Hagen Hill, Arizona
Prepared a Location/Design Concept Study and Final Design to improve safety of a 3-mile existing, mountainous, curved alignment. EEC used CAD to provide 3-D visualization and to produce earthwork quantities. The project included a complex drainage study of Long Tom Spring and Corduroy Creek watersheds, and final design for safety and operational improvements for 3 miles of rural arterial with sidehill viaduct.
SR 90, I-10 to Kartchner Caverns State Park Project Management, Arizona
Provided project management for the final design of 15 kilometers of widening from two lanes to a four-lane divided arterial including detailed hydraulic analysis and design for 99 culvert crossings.
SR 69, Poland Junction-Humboldt, Yavapai County, Arizona
Construction plans, cost and quantity estimates, and special provisions for the construction of three miles of four-lane divided highway and frontage roads. The project was designed for the Arizona Department of Transportation and included a number of significant drainage structures and erosion control features.
U.S. 180, Jct. B-40 to Columbus, Flagstaff, Arizona
EEC provided the design of pavement widening and reconstruction of curbs, sidewalks, relocation of existing utilities, and design of a major storm-sewer system through an inter-governmental agreement between ADOT and the City of Flagstaff. The project was a fast-track design using partnering techniques and extensive public involvement to allow design and construction to be completed in 12 months.
