category: Highway Project Over $10 Million
project: Profile
location: Phoenix, AZ - This urban design-build project added additional High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes in each direction on State Route 51 from Shea Blvd. to I-10 in Phoenix. In addition, six new bridges have been constructed, sound barriers have been enhanced, modifications were made to four existing bridge structures and improvements were made to roadway and drainage systems along the ten-mile stretch of road.
   
  The Ames-Kraemer joint venture team submitted an innovative design proposal that allowed the project to be completed ahead of A-DOT’s proposed schedule, and it eliminated several high-risk elements of the original design concept.
