The snow has arrived along I-55 in @WillCounty . Please slow down! It's very slippery. Keep in mind I-55 is still shut down North and Southbound between Dwight and Braidwood with 3 bad crashes. #ChicagoTrafic @WBBMNewsradio

Nowhere for #traffic to go on I-65 near #Rensselaer in #JasperCounty . ALL LANES blocked on I-65 BOTH DIRECTIONS near State Road 114 with multiple jackknifed semis. Use the combo of SR 10 & US 231 to avoid getting stuck in this. #NWI @WBBMNewsradio @ISPLowell2 @INDOTNorthwest

A rough morning for one semi driver after they struck the viaduct on EB Irving Park Rd under the Kennedy and rolled over. It will take a while for heavy tows to get this mess cleaned up so stick with Montrose or Addison on the NW side for now. #ChicagoTraffic @WBBMNewsradio
