This is last minute on my part I know, but a warning that the Washington State Department of Transportation will not be providing traffic information for close to an hour today, starting at noon. The outage is scheduled so that technicians can upgrade the data-entry system that feeds WSDOT’s real-time statewide and regional traffic information Web sites and the 5-1-1 travel information phone system.
During the upgrade, a banner at the top of WSDOT’s Travel Alerts Web pages will keep drivers advised of how to find information on any critical highway updates.
