American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Funds Transportation Projects in Phoenix
You may have noticed some Phoenix streets in various stages of repair and are likely to see even more during this summer. The city of Phoenix received $35.5 million in federal funds through the ARRA for transportation projects. Construction on hundreds of projects throughout Phoenix will take place this summer. This will mean delays and the need for extra caution in construction areas, but result in needed street and bridge maintenance.
ARRA transportation projects include: modifications to reduce congestion at the Seventh Street and McDowell Road intersection; application of rubberized asphalt at various locations to reduce noise and offer a smoother ride; sign upgrades; bridge rehabilitation; and upgrades to meet requirements of the American’s With Disabilities Act (ADA), among others. For more information about ARRA-funded projects in the city, click on the link below.
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport awarded $26.6 million for In-Line Explosive Detection System
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport recently received $26.6 million through ARRA from the Department of Homeland Security, Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) for an In-Line Explosive Detection System. The in-line system will provide a more efficient security screening process for checked baggage in new dedicated facilities and systems out of the public areas. The project will allow the manual baggage screening equipment from the passenger ticket lobby in Terminal 3 to be removed and provides a dedicated baggage screening system for oversize baggage in Terminal 4 North. Both systems will enable the public terminal space to return to passenger processing and facilitation functions.
