The Illinois Department of Transportation is alerting motorists that mowing is underway on most Illinois highways. IDOT has developed a schedule for mowing and spokesperson Paul Wappel says the heaviest mowing is always done during the summer months.
Wappel says that the reason they do it during July and the middle of Summer is actually due to the environment and Monarch migration patterns.
As always slow down and give mowers room on the side of the road. For a complete list of IDOT’s mowing schedules, you can visit IDOT”s youtube channel or their website.
