I had a great visit at the Watseka IDOT yard on October 30, 2023. During the visit, we had productive discussions about staffing, resources, and equipment. It was clear that the team at the IDOT yard has been working diligently on various projects throughout the year, including tasks such as tree removal, mowing, patching, and more.

As the winter season approaches, it is crucial for motorists to exercise caution when encountering snowplows on the road. In this regard, one of the IDOT representatives emphasized, "Please be sure to use caution when you are approaching a snowplow. Don’t crowd the plows." Recognizing the importance of safety, the representative further highlighted that "The snowplows typically operate at 25-35 mph and want ALL motorists to arrive at their destinations safely."
