🔥 Heat + humidity = expanding pavement. When the pressure builds, roads can buckle! Pavement buckling and blowouts can happen quickly, so please stay alert for uneven surfaces and crews making repairs. Report damaged pavement to IDOT at 800-452-4368. prez.ly/7eKd

Good morning. It's hot out there. 🥵 Illinois is in for extreme heat this week. Stay hydrated, take breaks in the shade or air conditioning, and check in on neighbors, older adults, and anyone without reliable cooling.
