Art of Transportation

A drone view from above turns a freeway image into something to be admired. 

What has one our intrepid ADOT photographers captured? Learn about why these streaks of light have us up in the air!

This long-exposure photo sums up how we are about to zip into the future with the Broadway Curve project.

A close up shot reminds us that it's no small thing to pay attention to the details. 

We're taking a look back at how the art along the one-year-old South Mountain Freeway came together. 

Blue stars merging with the shape of mountains and an abstraction of a saguaro cactus are just some of the beauty built into the new Happy Valley interchange on I-17.

Art imitates life in this shot from the recently finished project to improve Interstate 19 at Ajo in Tucson.

Things continue to look up for our project on US 60 at Pinto Creek.

Construction is not always easy or painless, but this project has our heads up in the clouds.

Highway construction often goes from blurry to clear, which is what we took away from this recent photo from a work site.

Our photographer was seeing meerkats at the project to expand Pinnacle Peak over Interstate 17.

The light at the end of the tunnel is the subject of today's Art of Transportation post.

Drivers passing by new overpass walls along I-10 at Ina Road, Eloy and Casa Grande will see more than just concrete.

Our photography caught this moment of calm during the construction of the new State Route 87 and Interstate 10 interchange near Eloy.

This week's Art of Transportation is all about giving some scale to what goes into a major undertaking such as the South Mountain Freeway.

A deck pour is a lot more than simply laying steel and pouring cement. It can be beautiful too.

Freeway construction isn't just nuts and bolts. If you know where to look, there are some beautiful things to see. The South Mountain Freeway project is featured in this week's Art of Transportation.

Moving dirt makes for an interesting photo in today's Art of Transportation.

Construction equipment being used for the South Mountain Freeway left eye-catching patterns on the ground near bridges going up over the Salt River.

In time for Friday the 13th and Halloween, we found a spooky creature at one of our projects near Tucson.
