On a complex project in a large metropolitan area, it may be a natural inclination during freeway closures for some drivers to self-detour onto local roads. ADOT collaborates with local cities and towns in the project area on a unique program to make sure drivers can get where they’re going without too much delay and with minimal disruption.

PHOENIX – The Arizona Department of Transportation advises motorists to plan ahead and allow extra travel time this weekend while westbound Interstate 10 is closed between US 60 and 32nd Street.

As the project manager for the Interstate 10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project, I’ve come to expect the unexpected. It’s all part of leading the Arizona Department of Transportation’s largest-ever urban highway reconstruction project: a four-year, $776 million effort along the busiest 11 miles of highway in the state.

A new safety campaign aims to reduce the number of crashes in the 11-mile work zone for the Broadway Curve Improvement Project.

Whether fixed- or truck-mounted, attenuators are designed to absorb the impact of a crash, protecting workers and helping to reduce injuries to motorists and damage to vehicles.
