The freeway was funded by state, federal and local dollars. It is not tolled. The final design, construction and 30-year maintenance of the freeway occurred through a public-private partnership (P3) agreement with C202P. This P3 not only expedited construction, but also reduced the overall cost. This project would have cost an estimated $100 million more than it did if ADOT had not utilized a P3 and the design-build project delivery method. Those saving are reabsorbed by the Maricopa Association of Governments’ Regional Transportation Plan to be put toward other infrastructure projects in the region.
