Where we are going, we need safe roads.

Here at ADOT, we love to celebrate National Engineers Week. It serves as a gentle reminder to highlight and recognize the importance that engineers play in building Arizona's roads and keeping everyone safe. 

During National Engineers Week, Feb. 18-24, we’re asking engineers on some of ADOT’s projects to share with us stories about their work and careers. Today, meet Sara Howard from the Loop 101 Princess Drive to Shea Boulevard Improvement Project in Scottsdale. Howard is a Senior Resident Engineer in heavy civil construction and transportation.

When you drive past an active highway construction zone, you may see people operating heavy equipment. You might not see the people that work behind the scenes to ensure that those projects run smoothly. Cordell Yazzie is one of those people.
ADOT Director Jennifer Toth shares her path to becoming to an engineer and celebrates the work done by engineers of all disciplines.
