to teamwork and partnering cultivated throughout the project.

commitment to quality and gaining support from the surrounding community empowered

8.5 months ahead of schedule, resulting in 2.5 mi. of heavily traveled arterial
roadway located along Tucson's scenic, northern "foothills."

shipments of produce from Mexico and serve as pick-up points for American truckers
who distribute in the U.S. The team's strong commitment to partnering and community
relations made the project, which finished under budget, successful and safe,
