Hitting the road in droves next week for the holidays, motorists in Indiana will have a new system to get information on traffic and road conditions.

Motorists accustomed to reaching the Indiana State Police Winter Road Conditions Hotline at (800) 261-7623) will be directed to the Indiana Department of Transportation TrafficWise service. Winter callers will get the usual, a report on winter road conditions. But the new service will be year-round, dispensing information on traffic delays caused by roadway maintenance, construction or crashes.

Controlled by a caller’s voice or numeric keypad, the phone system provides traffic reports for individual state highways or major metropolitan regions.

Additional information available at http://trafficwise.in.gov/ includes reports of future road construction or maintenance.
