Frequently asked questions
How do I check Fort Wayne road closures today?
Open the Detour FW road closures page. It lists every current closure and restriction we have from the City of Fort Wayne's TREC closure system, INDOT work zones on state roads and interstates in Allen County, and Citilink bus detours, with dates and locations. The live map on the home page shows the same closures as lines and pins. For the official word, the City posts closures on TREC (trecthefort.com) and INDOT posts state-road work on 511IN (511in.org).
See current Fort Wayne road closuresWhere does Detour FW get its information?
From public sources: City of Fort Wayne TREC (traffic related events and closures), INDOT's public 511IN work-zone feed, the Allen County Sheriff's Department activity log (traffic calls only), Citilink rider alerts, the City of New Haven, event calendars from Memorial Coliseum and Purdue Fort Wayne athletics, National Weather Service alerts for Allen County, traffic headlines from WANE 15 and 21Alive, and traffic posts on X from @FortWaynePolice, @INDOTNortheast and @JGfortwayne. Every item links back to its original source.
Full list of sourcesHow often is the traffic information updated?
The site re-checks its source feeds about every 15 minutes. Posts on X are checked hourly. The Allen County Sheriff's activity log is published by the Sheriff's Department about a day later, so it shows yesterday's crashes rather than live ones.
Does Detour FW cover I-69, I-469 and the state highways?
Yes. INDOT work zones in Allen County, including I-69, I-469, US 24, US 27, US 30 and state roads such as SR 1, SR 3, SR 14, SR 37 and SR 930, come from INDOT's public 511IN work-zone data feed.
I-69 and Allen County highway constructionWhere can I see crashes in Fort Wayne today?
The crashes page shows the Fort Wayne Police Department's morning crash posts on X and the Allen County Sheriff's traffic calls (crashes, hazards and disabled vehicles), which are posted about a day behind. Detour FW is not a live 911 feed, so a brand-new crash may not appear yet.
