On the Road with ADOT: How we’re planning projects for the next 5 years, and how you can give us feedback
Every spring, ADOT reaches out to the public with our updated plans for what kind of projects we plan to undertake in the next five years. And with that process already underway for 2025-2029, an important part of our work involves getting your feedback on these future improvements.
What kind of projects are we looking at? How does the plan come together? And how can you share your feedback with the right people at ADOT?
That’s what we’ll be covering in our latest podcast, On the Road, in which host Doug Nintzel talks with Paul Patane, director of the Multimodal Planning Division.
You’ll find out that projects could include the basics of maintaining a safe highway system, like repaving a highway or performing maintenance on a bridge. They could include smaller improvements, such as adding a turn lane at an intersection. And in some cases, these are high-profile projects that take multiple years, like building a new I-40/US 93 interchange in Kingman or widening I-10 in Phoenix and Tucson.
This plan, formally known as the Tentative Five-Year Construction Program, is available at azdot.gov/tentative5year. Check it out and you’ll see a wide range of projects. We list ways you can share your thoughts and priorities.
