ADOT Design Build

 

Loop 101 HOV Ramps at Maryland Ave. Traffic Interchange Design-Build. Glendale, AZ

Lead traffic engineer for this ADOT/City of Glendale project which added HOV lane ramps to the Loop 101 and allowed an additional entrance/exit to University of Phoenix Stadium. The project was critical for the 2015 Super Bowl, held in Glendale. Design challenges included creating specialty traffic signal pole foundations and pull boxes which were designed into the ramp bridge structure.  Chris was responsible for the traffic signal, roadway lighting, traffic control and signing/pavement marking designs. 

Interstate 10/Perryville Rd. Traffic Interchange Design-Build. Goodyear, AZ

A new traffic interchange was designed for ADOT, allowing Perryville Road to have full access to Interstate 10 (I-10).  A key project component was reducing the scale of the roadway lighting from 100-foot high mast poles to 69-foot median mounted poles. This change reduced construction costs by up to $800,000 while still adequately lighting the roadway without light-spill into adjacent neighborhoods. As lead traffic engineer, Chris was responsible for the traffic signal, roadway lighting, ITS and signing/pavement marking designs. 

US 60 (Grand Avenue) / Bell Rd Traffic Interchange Design-Build. Surprise, AZ

As lead traffic engineer, Chris was  responsible for the traffic signal, roadway lighting, ITS, signing/pavement marking and traffic control designs for the intersection of Grand Avenue/Bell Road. Raising the profile of Bell Road up and over the adjacent Union Pacific Railroad tracks was critical in reducing overall traffic congestion in the area.  ADOT Project components included providing detailed traffic control plans during an extended closure of Bell Road during the summer of 2016.
