Infrastructure
Infrastructure Loop 202 An example of a current P3 project is the construction of the new Loop 202. This $1.77 billion project is a P3 between the private sector and the Arizona Department of Transportation For the largest project in State history, ADOT partnered with a private developer (Connect 202 Partners) to design, build, and maintain the freeway for 30 years through a public-private partnership (P3). The design, build, maintain (DBM) delivery model is an innovative approach used nationwide to efficiently reduce the cost to taxpayers without sacrificing quality. The DMB model accelerates construction schedules through concurrent design, right-of-way acquisition and construction activities. For example, as soon as a section of the freeway has been cleared and design plans finalized, construction will begin while other portions of the freeway undergo the same process. Upon completion, the developer will be responsible for maintaining the freeway and ensuring the safety of the traveling public for 30 years, which results in the developer constructing the freeway with the highest possible quality. As a result of the P3, the South Mountain Freeway will be completed three years earlier than originally planned at a savings of approximately $100 million.
