Storms have led to signifcant impacts around the district, including debris and trees on roadways, power outages, and flooding.

Be prepared to seek alternate routes - be alert for debris in the roadway, never drive over downed power lines or through water covering the roadway, and do not drive around road closed signs. Traffic signals without power should be treated as 4-way stops.

INDOT crews are responding to clear state routes as quickly as possible. Check 511in.org for updated road closure information. Report issues on state roads at indot4u.com.
