State departments of transportation across the country are involved in a number of mobile application projects.įor example, in May, the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration – a division of the Maryland Department of Transportation – has launched Maryland Mobile ID in Apple Wallet, providing state residents with a digital version of their state-issued driver’s license or state identification card. When a device with the QuickMap app enters an area within 10 miles of a road closure or other traffic-related event, a pop-up message will appear alerting travelers of the incident, including time, location and reason for closure. The new QuickMap push notification feature allows travelers to opt-in to receive location-based alerts on their mobile devices, Caltrans said.

Warlow Rest Area in Kingsburg, just 30 minutes to the north, is fully open.Ĭaltrans reminds drivers that construction schedules are subject to change, depending on the availability of supplies. 'There was literally a letter from the supplier that said they were going through a supply chain issue,' Lukens said. Then the construction crews received a letter saying some materials were unavailable. 'Combined with material delay it's just one thing piled on top of another.' 'It was underwater for a while,' Lukens said. Originally planned to open this summer, it's since been delayed to October.īut the rest stop, much like many statewide, incurred heavy damage this winter and spring, as heavy storms resulted in floods that inundated many stops with standing water. Lukens said the stop needed a new water delivery system that connects the well and the storage tanks. Several are in District 6, which includes Fresno, Madera, Kings, Mariposa, Tulare and Kern counties.įor example, since June 30, the Buttonwillow Safety Roadside Rest Area on both sides of Interstate 5 through Kern County has been closed due to emergency repairs. 'And I was like, 'that's a lot of districts.''Īs compiled on Caltrans' QuickMap website and app, several bright orange 'closed' signs are listed over several stops in the Central Valley due to continued maintenance. 'One email said they were closed between Las Vegas and Sacramento,' Lukens said. Lukens said he regularly gets emails from concerned residents who swear it seems like every rest stop is closed.
