Once crews start treating the roads, the Indy Snow Force Viewer will be activated, according to the release. Once it's activated, you can track which streets have been treated and or plowed.

Indiana Department of Transportation crews will also treat the roadways as necessary, according to a tweet from INDOT's West Central District.
