It’s been an early winter across Iowa — and according to the calendar, winter isn’t even here yet. With more snow, ice, and dangerous cold in the forecast, the 511 mobile app and 511ia.org continue to be valuable resources for anyone planning to travel.
The statewide system provides real-time road conditions, closures, slowdowns, and other travel impacts. It also features photos from Iowa DOT snowplows, giving drivers an up-to-the-minute look at actual pavement and visibility conditions along major routes.
As winter weather remains active, checking 511 before heading out can help motorists make safer decisions and stay prepared for rapidly changing conditions.
