Last summer, the Minnesota Department of Transportation launched a new 511 Traveler Information Web site at www.511mn.org. And this winter, travelers are encouraged to use a new feature on the site.
In previous years, the winter road conditions were reported by counties only. Now winter weather conditions can be reported on segments, or stretches, of roads (U.S. routes, interstates and state routes). The goal is to provide greater detail of a particular stretch of highway.
The system has been tested in the southwestern part of the state, and has been given high marks for its user-friendly and helpful content.
