The Phoenix Construction District is responsible for the administration
of construction projects in the Greater Phoenix Metropolitan area.
These projects include Interstate Highway projects, State Highway
projects, Federally Funded Local Government projects, and construction
of the Maricopa
Association of Governments (MAG) Regional Freeway System. Currently
there are approximately 25 active projects,
with a contract value of $546 million. The District also provides
oversight for developer funded transportation projects.
The District participates in all phases of the planning and development
process. In cooperation with MAG, Valley
Project Management and the Phoenix
Maintenance District proposes projects for scoping and ultimate
inclusion into the 5-Year Plan. District personnel participate in
planning and design meetings and provide constructability review
of projects. There are approximately 115 projects with an estimated
value of $1.5 billion in the planning and design process.
The District is funded with a $14.8M internal operating budget
that supports 212 full-time employees in nine Construction
Field Offices, one Landscape Construction
Field Office, two Area Materials Laboratories,
an Electrical
Inspection Office, and a Survey Support Office. The District also maintains a Valley Project Information Office,
adjunct to ADOT’s Community Relations Office, to provide project
specific information for residents and businesses potentially affected
by active construction. Numerous Construction
Alerts and Corridor Status Updates are designed, produced and
distributed to keep an open communications link with Valley residents.
