Improving roads for future commercial and residential growth.

Dibble completed the design of over four miles of divided arterial roadway, including Ellsworth Loop Road from north of Chandler Heights Road to Queen Creek Road and Rittenhouse Road from east of Hawes Road to Ocotillo Road. Ellsworth Loop Road was designed as a bypass route for trucks and commuter traffic and provides access for proposed commercial developments.

Improvements include six travel lanes, a raised median for access control, storm drain, traffic signals, and street lighting. The design includes a depressed intersection with a new major bridge for the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) track. We also designed a new bridge structure crossing the Queen Creek Wash. Public involvement was essential for educating the public about the project’s benefits.

Dibble successfully collaborated with the UPRR to cross their property and tracks. Several critical utilities were within UPRR property and required relocation. Dibble held monthly utility coordination meetings, provided updated proposed construction plans, and collaborated with the utilities to facilitate their relocation design and construction. The UPRR coordination was the most critical and most challenging aspect of our work on this project.

Dibble completed this project from planning to final design in a fast-turn 14 month schedule.
