IDOT Reminding Driver to Lookout for Roadside Mowers

(Undated) — The Illinois Department of Transportation is reminding drivers to slow down during roadside mowing season. During the summer, IDOT conducts two primary types of mowing, including safety mowing directly adjacent to the road as needed. The other is maintenance mowing. That involves areas next to culverts, ditches, traffic control devices, and other structures. IDOT says the heaviest mowing operations will continue until August 15th.
