Travel is expected to be difficult in many parts of the state this weekend.

A major winter storm is bringing snow and possible blizzard conditions. If you must travel this weekend in those areas, you can check road conditions on IDOT’s website – Getting Around Illinois dot com. Paul Wappel with IDOT says drivers should use it when traveling.

Once again, the website is getting around Illinois dot com. And it’s optimized to work well on smartphones as well as computers.

You can also visit dewittdailynews.com and access the getting around Illinois road conditions web site simply by clicking the "road conditions"  icon next to the masthead on every page.
