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.

The Operations and Aircraft Rescue and Firefight Facility (ARFF) building at the Grand Canyon National Park Airport (which is owned and operated by ADOT), was recognized at the 22nd Annual Excellence in Masonry Architectural Awards sponsored by Arizona Masonry Guild on Sept. 20.
If something happens on the state’s highway system, you can bet ADOT’s Traffic Operations Center is working to ease the impact it will have on drivers.
