The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announces a dramatic expansion of its free Traffic- Wise traveler information service to include updated reports for all State Roads, U.S. Highways and Interstates around the state. Motorists now have a new tool to plan their travels by visiting TrafficWise.IN.gov or dialing 800-261-ROAD (7623).

Motorists accustomed to dialing the Indiana State Police Winter Road Conditions Hotline at 800-261- ROAD (7623) will now reach the new INDOT TrafficWise service. In addition to winter road conditions, callers will also hear yearround reports of traffic delays caused by roadway maintenance, construction or crashes. Controlled by a caller’s voice or numeric keypad, the phone system provides traffic reports for individual state highways or major metropolitan regions.

Additional information is available on the INDOT TrafficWise Web site at TrafficWise.IN.gov, including reports of future road construction or maintenance. Links to existing INDOT TrafficWise sites provide traffic speed estimates and snapshots from 80 traffic cameras within the Northwest and Central Indiana urban areas.
