Road construction - helpful websites to avoid?

[MichaelB]

Any suggestions for useful websites or mobile apps to check for current interstate road construction over a planned route? I use AAA but their construction information is outdated.

I've found the most accurate info is usually on the individual state's department of transportation website. Google is your friend.

Google Maps uses gps data from phones using its app. It also integrates user posted data now.

Agreed. e.g. DriveBC
An app is available.

Beat The Traffic seems to be a popular app for this.

I also keep a bookmark for traffic.com on my iPhone and this has proven useful several times.

That and a we'll get there when we get there attitude helps us along. (I'm still working on the attitude.)

Our GPS has traffic notifications & routes around really bad jams. But that works only in big cities and doesn't do much for road construction in rural areas.

All I know is that Arkansas is the native American term for "road construction"...

My GPS gives some traffic info but is more for real time use and not helpful for route planning.

This is what I'll need to do. I admit To being a bit lazy and hoping for a third party app or website that did most of the work for me. I will look into beat the traffic and traffic.com

Same here. When we drive to my brother's place in MA for Thanksgiving, I check out the Connectict DOT website to make sure I-84 is okay.
