MDOT Adds More Webcams on Roads

This winter, those driving through the Upper Peninsula will be able to see what’s going on before they hit the roads. Thirteen new webcams have been added to the Michigan Department of Transportation Road Weather Information System. Locations include in Calumet on US-41 at Store Street, Arnheim on US-41 at the Houghton/Baraga county line, Nisula on M-38 at the Houghton/Ontonagon county line and Trout Creek on M-28 at the Houghton/Ontonagon county line. Using federal grant funding, MDOT began installing the system between 2008 and 2010 to monitor atmospheric and road surface conditions in an effort to better manage winter maintenance activities and to provide more travel information to motorists.
