We're not sure why we gave a highway interchange a Twitter account of its own, but it's certainly not a sign of an overgrown bureaucracy.
As part of ongoing construction at @Thejanebyrne Interchange, lane closures on the inbound Dan Ryan Expressway begin July 13. Full details: ow.ly/XkwX50Aunz3 #ILtraffic

The Village of Stone Park, Illinois. @StoneParkPD
gonna to a blog-style open thread here by asking: what is the business in your area that is a transparent front for organised crime
Arresting fewer drunks!
Good job, Illinois: A recent study has found that we have the second lowest DUI arrest rate in the nation. patch.com/illinois/across-il… #DriveSober
‘When you come in on Monday and you're not feeling real well, does anyone ever say to you, "Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays?" Lawrence: No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man.’
We at IDOT hope you survived today without catching a case of the Mondays.

Took us long enough.
Illinois' newest piece of infrastructure is soon to open to traffic. When it opens for Thursday morning's commute, the $23.9 million Cumberland Flyover — built in conjunction with @ILTollway — will improve safety and access in and out of @fly2ohare and the surrounding area.
Rule #1. Keep an eye out at railroad crossings and don't do stupid crap, such as trying to beat the train. Rule #2. See Rule #1. x.com/ILCommerceComm/status/…

Today, the ICC held a Rail Safety Summit exploring strategies to reduce the number of pedestrians & motorists incidents & share the stories & mental health impact of RR employees affected by tragedies.Thank you to our panelists for sharing w/ us their safety & prevention efforts!
Apparently there is no more need for a parody account, as the official one has become sufficiently laughable. x.com/IDOT_Illinois/status/9…

To be entirely fair, we don’t pay attention to the boss, either. x.com/billjcameron/status/80…

Here's to hoping that they don't pad the bill when they send it over. x.com/Kraemer_NA/status/7917…

This map makes it very obvious which Chicagoland counties have their crap together:

Let's have a shout-out to our partners in crime at @IllinoisTollway for doing a better job at fleecing taxpayers than we do.

@IllinoisTollway charges $24 to get a monthly statement of your usage. Talk about highway robbery.
