How to check on road conditions statewide
The Illinois Department of Transportation is urging the public to check GettingAroundIllinois.com for road conditions and 24/7 travel information before heading out.
The continually updated site has information on road conditions throughout the state and is optimized for smartphones.
Visitors can identify and zoom in on a location, travel route or destination on a state map. Road conditions are recorded by plow drivers out in the field and relayed through a cloud-based system to provide a general overview on IDOT-maintained highways.
The site also features a color scheme of pinks and blues to differentiate from the red, yellow and green of traffic congestion reporting.
