Interview with Amy Ritz, Project Manager for ADOT's First Major Urban Freeway Reconstruction Project
In this episode I was joined by Amy Ritz, Project Manager for ADOT’s first major urban freeway reconstruction project, the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvements Project. Amy brings a unique background and perspective to managing an undertaking as significant as redesigning and rebuilding one of the Valley’s busiest freeway corridors. With Amy’s educational background in Political Science, extensive experience working with elected officials, and deep understanding of the utility relocation and project delivery process, ADOT definitely picked the right Project Manager.
Learn how Amy made her way from working with the California State Legislature back home to her roots in Arizona. Once here she began working with Salt River Project where she coordinated closely with municipalities and regional agencies on roadway projects. This led her to a seventeen-year career with the Arizona Department of Transportation where she is now leading a team of professionals on one of the most complex projects the state has ever undertaken. Amy’s one of the most competent project delivery professionals in the industry and her story is fascinating.
