These are just a few examples of the efforts made by our growing team of volunteers. See who's volunteering in your community and the accomplishments already being made to reduce litter.
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.
Becoming a licensed, professional engineer takes more than just a college diploma… After graduation there are some tough exams involved, along with a requirement to obtain four years of engineering experience under a licensed Professional Engineer (PE).
Did you realize this week is National Engineers Week? It’s a pretty big deal around here because ADOT has so many engineers who come to work each day to build, operate and maintain the state’s highway system.
Happy 100th Birthday, Arizona! As most of the state enters party mode today and stops to reflect on Arizona's past, we wanted to take a different approach to our Centennial revelry...
We’re just one day away from a very significant date in our state’s history … tomorrow is when Arizona officially celebrates 100 years of statehood! We don’t know about you, but such an important milestone really starts to make us think about what life must have been like for Arizonans way back in 1912.
When we blogged about quiet pavement back in December, we got a lot of comments… We received plenty of questions, too, which we’ll attempt to answer here on the blog in the coming weeks – starting with one on bridge expansion joints.
We asked and you answered! Back in December when we told you about the Quiet Pavement Pilot Program, we launched a survey asking for your thoughts on freeway surface conditions in Maricopa County.
Nothing seems to slow a commute down like having to stop at one red light after another. That’s why ADOT is working to synchronize some of its signals – a move that can help traffic flow a little more smoothly while reducing the type of stop-and-go traffic that can lead to congestion.
Last week we received a blog comment requesting an update on the I-17 bridges that span over Pinewood Boulevard in Munds Park. We thought it was a great suggestion and figured a blog post was in order!
