Special to The Hays Daily News

Interstate 70 westbound lanes now are closed from Burlington, Colo., to Airpark Road in Colorado due to adverse weather and road conditions, as well as full accommodations.

Visit KanDrive, www.kandrive.org, KDOT's traveler information gateway for Kansas and surrounding states, to get enhanced camera views. Camera snapshots of the roadway are updated every few minutes from closed-circuit cameras installed along I-70 and other highways. Live motion camera views have been added for many cameras along I-70 between Goodland and west of Topeka

The 511 Mobile site at 511mm.ksdot.org now provides map, camera and electronic message sign views, road conditions, work zone and event information and links to weather. All content is provided by six regions across the state and three metropolitan areas (Kansas City, Topeka and Wichita).

The site is accessible from multiple devices, including iPhones, Droids and Windows mobile devices, Version 6.0 and higher. Any devices not compatible with the new application will be able to access text information only for road conditions and work zones.

* 511 Phone: From any phone anytime, travelers can call 511 from anywhere in Kansas or (866) 511-KDOT (5368) from anywhere in the U.S. to get route-specific road conditions, work-zone information, including detours and closed roads, and travel-related weather information and emergency advisories to plan their trips or for updates as they travel.

* KDOT also reminds those who must travel in these conditions to take extra precautions, including making sure to have a fully charged cell phone, a filled tank of fuel and a survival kit in your vehicle.

A basic survival kit can be a lifesaver in the event of a mechanical breakdown or if you are stranded during a winter storm. The kit should contain a blanket or sleeping bag; nonperishable food; water; flashlight and extra batteries; matches or a lighter; candles; warm coat, gloves, hat or cap and insulated footwear; and a small first aid kit. Other supplies should include a snow shovel; ice scraper/snow brush; sand or traction mats; flares/reflectors; jumper cables; a good spare tire, lug wrench and jack.
