As Arizona gears up to celebrate 100 years of Route 66, the Arizona Department of Transportation wants to highlight a great way to carry a piece of the so-called Mother Road with you no matter where you’re headed.
On the Road with ADOT takes to the skies while Matthew Munden, manager of ADOT’s Aeronautics Group, talks about his staff’s role in supporting airport development and Federal Aviation Administration funding for a robust statewide network of publicly owned airports.
Thank you to volunteers and supporters for making Earth Day 2026 the highest attended cleanup with the most trash picked up during an ADOT-hosted cleanup.
Did you realize this week is National Engineers Week? It’s a pretty big deal around here because ADOT has so many engineers who come to work each day to build, operate and maintain the state’s highway system.
Happy 100th Birthday, Arizona! As most of the state enters party mode today and stops to reflect on Arizona's past, we wanted to take a different approach to our Centennial revelry...
We’re just one day away from a very significant date in our state’s history … tomorrow is when Arizona officially celebrates 100 years of statehood! We don’t know about you, but such an important milestone really starts to make us think about what life must have been like for Arizonans way back in 1912.
When we blogged about quiet pavement back in December, we got a lot of comments… We received plenty of questions, too, which we’ll attempt to answer here on the blog in the coming weeks – starting with one on bridge expansion joints.
We asked and you answered! Back in December when we told you about the Quiet Pavement Pilot Program, we launched a survey asking for your thoughts on freeway surface conditions in Maricopa County.
Nothing seems to slow a commute down like having to stop at one red light after another. That’s why ADOT is working to synchronize some of its signals – a move that can help traffic flow a little more smoothly while reducing the type of stop-and-go traffic that can lead to congestion.
Last week we received a blog comment requesting an update on the I-17 bridges that span over Pinewood Boulevard in Munds Park. We thought it was a great suggestion and figured a blog post was in order!
Yesterday we told you about ADOT’s Pavement Materials Testing group and how it is responsible for testing aggregate and creating asphalt friction course mix designs.
