Our ADOT photographers perfectly captured the reflection of an employee on the job in this week's Art of Transportation. He's just one of the 3,800 ADOT employees working to provide a safe, connected and cost effective transportation system for Arizona citizens.

The sign in the above photo was likely made in the ADOT sign shop by another ADOT employee. It’s one of 500,000 signs ADOT maintains across the state. Our blog post on sign installation and our blog on replacing signs will give you more insight into how ADOT manages its half a million signs statewide.

The trusses of the old US 80 bridge north of Gila Bend make a nice frame around the moon in this week's Art of Transportation. If you'd like to capture a shot like this, your next chance will be when the harvest moon rises on Sept. 16!

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Or it might be the perspective from which an object is observed. In today's Art of Transportation installment, we view crews placing a girder on the I-10/Prince Road overpass in Tucson through a cement block.

Over the past few weeks, ADOT crews have been setting dozens of girders on the Bell and Grand project . To see video of those girders going up, visit the ADOT YouTube channel.

In this installment of the Art of Transportation, we invite you to take in the view near US 89A as it runs below the majestic Vermilion Cliffs. Shown is the road from US 89A to Lees Ferry, which is considered the start of the Grand Canyon because it's where you can find the first rapid on rafting trips down the Colorado River.

Visit the National Park Service for more history on Lees Ferry.
