This project encompassed the construction of a 1-mile stretch of new roadway along Meridian Road, connecting Queen Creek Road to Germann Road. This segment serves as the final link between SR-24 and Combs Road. Banicki undertook the task of relocating 6,000 LF of 12kV overhead power lines underground for SRP (Salt River Project). Upon the completion of Banicki’s underground relocation efforts, our Project Team collaborated with SRP to install SRP’s new 69kV overhead power lines in tandem with the construction of the new roadway.
The project’s broader scope included the installation of a 183-foot-long ADOT modified box culvert, 9,096 LF of curb and gutter, 26,389 SF of sidewalk, 2,005 desert landscape plants, 11,560 LF of landscape irrigation line, 10,520 LF of electrical conduit, 5,300 LF of fiber optic cable, 22 LED streetlights, 3,784 LF of 18” to 36” drainage RCP (reinforced concrete pipe), 29 drainage structures, and 14,252 LF of steel gas line for the City of Mesa.
Banicki successfully opened the new roadway to traffic on November 28, 2022. Additionally, a new signalized intersection is slated for installation at Queen Creek and Meridian Road, pending the completion of the irrigation line relocation work by the Queen Creek Irrigation District.
