Holiday cheer has landed on our overhead signs reminding travelers to drive safely (and end up on Santa’s “nice” list) in the days leading up to Christmas. 

It’s been a great year for the ADOT Blog. We published more than 140 articles, covering a wide range of topics from project progress and historical anecdotes to animal rescues and Adopt a Highway updates. Since it’s the end of the year, now’s the perfect time to count down the ten most-read blogs of 2023.

If you have a question related to Arizona roadways, who you gonna call? The answer is: It depends.

Here at ADOT, we’re happy to answer questions about highways, the Motor Vehicle Division and more. But sometimes, people call us for information that we simply don’t have access to or for something happening on a roadway that is outside our jurisdiction. 

After the recent exciting news that a Federal Highway Administration will fund an I-17 wildlife overpass and other improvements to reduce conflicts between vehicles and wildlife, we take a look at other projects ADOT has completed with the same goals in mind.

Much like cleaning your home, keeping a highway clean is a never-ending job. But in the world of freeway maintenance, we have a tool more effective than any broom or feather duster: the mighty hydrovac.
