inMaricopa
The Union Pacific Railroad overpass has a budget, properties have been purchased and a path is being cleared. Now, the project needs a general contractor.
Arizona Department of Transportation sent the project out to bid in June. The State Transportation Board expects to open the bids on Aug. 25.
The bridge is budgeted for $37.3 million and will carry traffic on State Route 347 across the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. The entire project, including property acquisition, street realignments and building demolitions, was estimated to cost $55 million.
