[Talk-us] DOT construction updates

[Martijn van Exel]

Hi all, 

I was thinking about a good way for the community to get a feed of construction updates from state DOTs. Has anyone ever attempted this? A good start should be a list of state DOTs (I found http://www.dot.state.ak.us/transpo_resources.shtml <http://www.dot.state.ak.us/transpo_resources.shtml>, not sure if it’s 100% current). But where to go from there? Every state DOT has its own mechanism / format to distribute updates. Do they all have an RSS feed? Or twitter?

At this point I am just curious to hear if anyone else has thought about this already and if so what you have come up with so far.

(What triggered this again for me: I heard someone mention that the work on the I-96/US-23 interchange in Michigan was complete, but could not find any confirmation. See this pretty cool video from MDOT for what they are doing there: https://youtu.be/K9wQoIc2cLc?t=75 <https://youtu.be/K9wQoIc2cLc?t=75>.) The situation on OSM reflects the pre-construction reality —> https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/359765#map=15/42.5227/-83.7526 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/359765#map=15/42.5227/-83.7526>)
