Are you familiar with 511NY?

If you are familiar with 511NY, we’d like to hear from you. It looks like a great tool to find up-to-date information on lane closures, congestion, and flooding, as well as transportation options. For instance today 12.18.23 is a very rainy day and I can see flooding on several highways (spots on the Saw Mill, Taconic and Sprain Brook Parkways) and a disabled tractor trailer on the Major Deegan. 511 lists the location for each incident.

There’s a Rideshare link that provides information on finding a carpool, transit options and more. You can even check photos for some traffic cameras. Let us know if you use 511 to create routes or avoid trouble spots.
