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.
As we mark National Engineers Week, let’s introduce you to where the action happens: ADOT’s State Engineer’s Office, led by State Engineer and Deputy Director Audra Merrick.
Visitors to rest areas along state highways will begin to notice recycling containers onsite since ADOT started a recycling program at three rest areas with plans to expand it statewide.
When you’re taking your next road trip through the state, you’ll likely notice our new signs that designate each of Arizona’s 14 highway rest area locations as “Safe Phone Zones.”
We’re headed into monsoon season, which means motorists need to be on alert. High winds, blowing dust and other conditions that can impact your drive are more common this time of year.
In order to provide a safer flow for traffic, ADOT will realign SR 89A and reconstruct the intersection of southbound I-17 and JW Powell Boulevard three miles south of Flagstaff.
