Adopt a Highway volunteer groups and others are invited to help tidy up along state highways for Earth Day. Whether you are a seasoned volunteer or just looking to make a difference, your participation makes a measurable impact toward reducing roadside litter.
This week’s episode of On the Road With ADOT features two of our many team members involved in preserving Arizona’s vast investment in state highways and the use of fog seals to extend pavement life.
With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, we want to take a moment and remind everyone to plan ahead so you get home safely after the festivities. If you’re out on state highways this weekend, you may notice some of our overhead message...
After seeing the photos and video of US 89, it’s obvious that a lot of engineering brainpower will be needed to determine the cause of the landslide and what the possible long- and short-term options might be. Seeing the magnitude of the damage might also make you wonder about costs ...
Check out this video. Not only does it give an up-close look of what’s happening at the US 89 site, it also provides us with a few new, interesting geotechnical terms, including inclinometers, extensometers, LiDAR and DTM ...
Wow … we’ve certainly received a big response to all of the videos, Tweets, blog posts and news releases related to the closure of US 89 south of Page. A huge thank-you goes out to everyone who has helped us spread the word!
By now, many of you have probably already seen photos of US 89 … A 150-foot section of the road “buckled” yesterday morning (Feb. 20) in an area about 25 miles south of Page – the cause of the highway damage may have been a geologic event ...
Ever think about where we’d be without engineers? We know we certainly wouldn’t have most of the “stuff” that surrounds us in our everyday lives, or, if we did, it probably wouldn’t operate the way it does now ...
ADOT has been constructing roads in Arizona for a long time, but technology and methods sure have changed along the way. Want some proof? Just look at these photographs!
Did you know you can check your commute before you head out on the road? All you have to do is visit az511.gov and take a look at the view from our freeway cameras …
