Keep up with road conditions by following
@IDOT_Illinois
!
WE NEED MOTORISTS TO SLOW DOWN!
As you can see from
@IDOT_Illinois
’s road condition map, roads across IL are still snow covered & slick.
Allow extra time if you must travel today! It will save you time in the long run when you safely make it to your destination!
#MOVEOVER
🚨🚔
PLEASE USE EXTREME CAUTION.
It is not uncommon for high profile vehicles such as semis to overturn on the roadway in 60 mph crosswinds. These rollovers could potentially delay your travel by closing roads off.
BUCKLE UP before you hit the road if you must travel.
⚠️Damaging winds are likely tonight especially between 8 pm and 3 am in the red shaded area. The winds will be as powerful as a severe thunderstorm! Prepare for downed tree limbs and power outages, and move any outdoor furniture or free-standing decorations indoors.
