While Route 66 was officially decommissioned in the 1980s and replaced in Arizona by I-40, its centennial is a big deal for those of us in the highway business. In this post, we're pointing you to some of the ways Arizona cities and towns are celebrating:
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.
Safety is our top priority – for our workers and the public – and National Work Zone Awareness Week gives us the opportunity to feature some tips to make work zones along Arizona’s highways safer for everyone.
We hope you've seen our announcement and previous blog post about a major project that will relieve congestion at Grand Avenue (US 60) and Bell Road in Surprise.
If you travel on the Loop 101 Agua Fria and Pima freeways this week between Glendale and Scottsdale, you’ll probably encounter more motorcycles than usual.
ADOT’s Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program received some recent recognition that we want to tell you about. But first we should probably give you a few details on the program itself.
The El Niño forecast has had many, including people at ADOT, planning for downpours in the desert and lots of snow in the high country. So what happened, and is it too late for a wet spring?
We recently we told you that the Motor Vehicle Division distributed more than $6.5 million to Arizona charities and nonprofits through the specialty license plate program.
Every year thousands of kids travel Arizona highways to reach their spring break destination. Which of Arizona’s highways do you think are usually the busiest during spring break?
