Are you on the “Gram?” Do you prefer latergrams or IG stories? If you’re on Instagram, be sure to follow the official ADOT Instagram account.

ADOT Instagram is a bit different than most of our other social media platforms.

On Twitter, you’ll find a lot of quick updates on traffic, construction info and our latest news.

We share our blog posts and need-to-know ADOT news on the Facebook page.

Our Instagram is all about the best photos from our construction projects, ADOT traffic cameras and shots captured by our crews on the road.

On any given day you may see a monsoon storm.

Lightning lit up the sky across #Tucson last night with an active day for #monsoons. We’re expecting another day with more storms across state. #transportation #transpo #highway #roads #azwx #monsoon #lightning

Or ADOT crews hydroseeding.

What would you think if you saw crews "watering" the side of the highway with a green liquid? These are photos of crews reseeding along a recently paved portion of SR 88 (Apache Trail) near Canyon Lake. After paving, crews proactively seed the alongside the highway to prevent invasive plant growth and ensure healthy, native plant species are reintroduced. Reseeding also prevents erosion along our roadways.

Occasionally we’ll take you behind the scenes to spots like the Deck Park Tunnel. You can also watch our highlights for a recap of popular safety messages posted to our overhead message boards.

We hope to see you on "Insta" soon.
