Best Project Airport/Transit: Expansion And Modernization Of The Mariposa Land Port Of Entry
As the largest port of entry in Arizona, Mariposa accommodates more than 1.5 million vehicles and 40% of the produce that enters the U.S. from Mexico. By the time the $187-million expansion project reached completion in 2014, construction work doubled most of the facility’s operational areas.
The project consisted of the demolition and construction of all facilities, including inspection areas, a new administration building, a pedestrian processing facility, a new canine kennel and other support structures.
