The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is reminding winter drivers of an online resource that can help any motorist by providing real-time traffic and transit event information including winter road conditions, construction updates and even up to the minute traffic congestion. The information is available online at 511wi.gov or on a free smart phone app through the Wisconsin DOT. This information feed is updated as weather conditions change during winter storms, as individual events become active or updated. Events are also removed from the feed as they expire. Before you leave for holiday travel or if you just need to know if you trip will have any difficult travel; simply go to 511wi.gov to view the color coded highway map.
