The safest location for drivers would be to try to stay behind a plow at a safe distance. If you’re behind a plow, you’re going to get from point A to point B.

If something happens on the state’s highway system, you can bet ADOT’s Traffic Operations Center is working to ease the impact it will have on drivers.

Right now, ADOT is evaluating the US89 project area to see if there are any archaeologically significant sites in the right of way.

Today’s video does a very good job of summing up what the maintenance crews do and why it should matter to the traveling public.

There’s a realignment and intersection improvement project in the works near Flagstaff that, when complete, will help eliminate some major backups in the area.

Work is getting underway on the San Pedro River Bridge replacement project … again.

A new partnership between ADOT and the U.S. Army will afford job opportunities to soldiers once they’re ready to leave the service.

The long-term fix for US 89 will involve cutting back the mountain slope, building a gravity buttress wall for support and constructing the new road. But before crews can begin on all that, there’s a lot that has to get done.

If you don’t know much about ADOT’s Enforcement and Compliance Division, you’ve come to the right place…

ADOT hosted a public hearing and several community forums over the last few months to get input on the South Mountain Freeway draft Environmental Impact Statement...

Even though the Avenue 3E Bridge widening project in Yuma isn’t the biggest ADOT undertaking in terms of budget or scope, it has made a pretty big impact.

Rubberized asphalt is durable, smooth and uses recycled materials that otherwise would be headed to a landfill ... what’s not to like?

Our new video gives a look at the long-term fix being proposed to repair the landslide-damaged stretch of US 89.

Last week, when we shared with you the long-term repair solution that has been proposed for US 89, we explained how experts studied the area for months and put together a comprehensive report that includes a major amount of geological data (seriously, the report is 463 pages).

If you are a Phoenix-area commuter who travels daily through the Deck Park Tunnel, you’re probably already aware that a produce truck spilled its contents yesterday afternoon as it headed westbound on I-10.

We like to check in, from time to time, on the Loop 303 project… Over the past two years we’ve been able to see a 14-mile stretch of the freeway open to traffic, witness the start of construction on new segments and mark many, many milestones along the way.

Yes, paving on N20 has begun, but drivers shouldn’t plan on using the route as a detour until construction is completed later this summer.

We’re loving all the Haboob Haikus that have been rolling in this week… Like last year, this poetry challenge with the funny name has helped us accomplish an important goal, which is to get people talking about the danger of driving in dust storms. Because we cannot forget that dust storms can pose very real risks to motorists in this state – just take a look at the video above for proof.

Last year, ADOT launched its very first “Haboob Haiku” challenge in an effort to spread the word about dust storm safety and the response was pretty amazing. That’s actually a huge understatement ... Not only did we receive over 600 original haikus (some even by phone and snail mail), but #HaboobHaiku yielded stories in media outlets all over the world (they even wrote about it in New Zealand!).

As you can see in the video above, ADOT and the Navajo Division of Transportation officially broke ground on the Navajo Route 20 paving project yesterday morning. The ceremony marks the start of a project that we’ve blogged about before.
