The environmental advocacy group Valley Forward has given the “President’s Award” to the Arizona Department of Transportation for the US 60 Gonzales Pass project.
The 10-mile scenic stretch of highway is the gateway from the Phoenix metro area to the communities of Superior, Globe, Miami, and the Tonto National Forest.
The $40 million project opened in October 2008, eight months ahead of schedule. The project between Florence Junction and Superior improved the safety and capacity of the two lane roadway by widening it to a four lane divided highway.
The project was also recognized as one of the top ten roads in America by Roads and Bridges Magazine in 2009.
