Advisory

Eclipse mania has hit the Tri-State. Your public safety partners are ready for the big day (of darkness)

We are just a few hours away from an event that is decades in the making. With the excitement that surrounds today's total eclipse, there comes some safety issues.
In order to keep everyone safe, we have some info for you to be aware of:
Glasses- Only approved glasses should be used to view the eclipse- DO NOT drive with eclipse glasses on
Parking- NO PARKING will be allowed along US HWY 41 or I-69- Officers will be in the area enforcing this rule
Traffic- People have been coming into the region for several days-
They will all be leaving at about the same time. Traffic traveling north into Indiana may arrive during our normal rush hour traffic- BE PATIENT

Twin Bridges- We know the construction zone is a pain. You know the construction zone is a pain. Driving aggressively is not going to change that.

SEE SOMETHING- SAY SOMETHING
Report any suspicious activity to your nearest law enforcement or public safety official.

We want everyone to do their part to make today a day to remember.
