Alerting the Public About Local Road Closures

September 6, 2024 by Julie Swiler

Hand-held app showing road closures in Minnesota

Navigation apps can be valuable timesavers for drivers in Minnesota. To maximize their use, these apps need traffic information that is timely and accurate. While state highway closures are reported effectively, reporting road closures on local roads and highways is inconsistent.

The research implementation project, Using Apps to Notify the Public of Local Road and Bridge Closures, aimed to improve local road closure reporting by exploring the development of a streamlined reporting system and creating guidance for reporting local road closures to third-party navigation apps.
