In addition to a week filled with blogs and social media posts that celebrate engineering and engineers, this episode of On the Road With ADOT features Audra Merrick, ADOT's State Engineer and Deputy Director.
There's a lot happening with ADOT's project widening the Loop 101 (Agua Freeway Freeway) between I-17 and 75th Avenue. So this week we're getting an update from Kim Larson, our Community Relations Project Manager for this improvement.
ADOT is continuing its work toward rebuilding US 89 as soon as safely possible and while there’s no huge project milestone to share with you at the moment, we thought you might be interested in a quick update.
We draw them, we review them and we use them during construction, because they tell us what to do. Roadway plans are common around ADOT, but maybe you’ve never seen them for yourself.
You know that there are layers of dirt and rock lie beneath the surface you drive on, but would you guess that some roads are built on top of a special material (in addition to all the dirt and rocks)?
We’ve already covered the milestones related to Phoenix-area freeways and the state highway system, so today we’re going to turn our attention to some of the planning, campaigns and other accomplishments that took place last year.
We hope you’re ready for more reminiscing! Today, we're focusing on some of the transportation accomplishments that took place on the state highway system last year.
2013 was full of some pretty big accomplishments here at ADOT and we can’t help but want to look back. So, join us today and tomorrow as we review the the year!
As part of an ongoing effort to modernize the I-15 Virgin River Gorge corridor, ADOT will begin a series of bridge rehabilitation projects in early 2014.
