Joe Heller, our resident engineer on a big project getting underway in the North Valley, joins On the Road With ADOT this week to explain what's coming over the next two and a half years, including a flyover ramp connecting northbound I-17 with Loop 303.
A major component of the work will be building the direct ramps to create the freeway-to-freeway interchange. When completed over the next two-and-a-half years, drivers will skip the traffic signals at the current Loop 303/I-17 diamond interchange.
Engineers at ADOT play a vital role in building and maintaining Arizona’s roads. During National Engineers Week, Feb. 22-28, we’re celebrating engineers and the work they do to keep Arizona moving.
Like the swallows returning to Capistrano, the reopening of state highways in the high country is a sure sign of spring. Just remember to be safe if you are planning to drive these scenic roads.
If you are planning to visit the memorial the Granite Mountain Hotshots near Yarnell, please do so safely. And that means not parking along State Route 89.
