Loop 303 project near TSMC plant earns award

Posted

PHOENIX – The project that built Loop 303 interchanges at 43rd and 51st avenues near Interstate 17 has been honored in the 2024 America’s Transportation Awards competition.

The $70 million Loop 303 project earned a west region award in the Quality of Life/Community Development, Medium Project category in the national competition among state departments of transportation, according to a release from the Arizona Department of Transportation.

The competition is sponsored by AASHTO, an association representing highway and transportation departments nationwide, as well as AAA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

ADOT partnered with the Maricopa Association of Governments and Phoenix to accelerate construction of the Loop 303 bridges and ramps to address current and future traffic growth near the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. plant in the north Valley, the release stated.

The interchanges were completed in September 2023, several years sooner than originally planned.

Construction of new Loop 303 interchanges at 43rd and 51st avenues was funded through the dedicated Proposition 400 half-cent sales tax approved by Maricopa County voters in 2004.
