After reports of a portion of I-72 buckling yesterday because of the extreme heat, the Illinois Department of Transportation is advising drivers to remain alert during their 4th of July travel.
IDOT says that pavement failures, buckling and blowouts occur with little warning during periods of prolonged heat and humidity.
You can report pavement failures to IDOT by calling 800-452-4368 or by reaching out to law enforcement via 911.
