Arizona's first highway public-private partnership will open in 2019, three years earlier than scheduled, the state transportation department said.

The development consortium Connect 202 Partners said it had revised the finish date for the US$1.9 billion project by constructing the final section all at once. Connect 202 Partners is working under a 30-year design, build and maintain contract for the 35.5km route.

The South Mountain Freeway refers to a segment of State Route 202, or Loop 202, a partial beltway around the eastern Phoenix metropolitan area of central Arizona. It crosses the eastern end of the city of Phoenix, from Chandler to the Papago Freeway (I-10) in west Phoenix.

The other two segments are called Red Mountain Freeway and Santan Freeway. Red Mountain runs from the Mini Stack Interchange in Phoenix to the SuperRedTan Interchange in Mesa. Santan Freeway goes from the SuperRedTan Interchange to Maricopa Freeway (I-10) in Chandler.

First public outing for Liebherr tower crane at INTERMAT

Liebherr used INTERMAT 2012 to show its new 380 EC-B 16 Litronic flat-top crane. The 380tonne unit tops the 15-model range, which starts from 50tonnes. The new “flagship” can lift loads of up to 3,400kg at its 75m maximum radius. With the Litronic system, the 380 EC-B 16 can provide up to 20% more load lift at the push of a button. This is achieved by integrating the load-moment limiting system, the ABB operating-range limiting system and the MDA machine data evaluation program.
