Structural Design Tucson, Arizona

The Kino Parkway/22nd Street Intersection Improvement Project reconstructed one of the most congested intersections in Southern Arizona by installing the first grade-separated intersection in the City of Tucson. One of the unique challenges was elevating Kino Parkway over 22nd Street while maintaining traffic during construction! The new overpass replaces a signalized, gridlocked intersection with two continuous through lanes of traffic in each – north and south – direction. The bridges supporting these lanes are twin 344 foot, three span structures. This project creates an attractive and efficient gateway into Tucson. It was built with the public’s involvement, contributions and collaboration, including teamwork that brought government, businesses, design partners and citizens together to benefit the entire community.

Structural Design Goodyear, Arizona

Structural Grace provided structural and architectural design and production of construction documents, including cost estimate, and special provisions, for twin two-span, haunched reinforced concrete slab bridges at three crossings. The structures cross Bullard Wash at Van Buren Street, McDowell Road and Monte Vista Drive. The scope of services included bridge design, coordination with roadway designers, hydraulic engineers, coordination with project artist and production of construction documents (plans, quantities, cost estimates, special provisions). Aesthetic issues addressed during the design included providing an open design that avoided a tunnel like atmosphere for the users of the linear path that meanders under the bridges, and unique open rail design.
