Roadways are feeling some pressure from recent winter weather, but it hasn't been too bad yet, according to an IDOT Engineer. District 8's Joe Monroe says they are keeping an eye on the roads, as the freeze-thaw cycle that is fed by swings in weather conditions may ramp up later this week and into the weekend.

Moisture that gets down into cracks in the pavement and stays liquid during the day may freeze at night, causing the pavement to fail.
