Ahead of the winter snowplow season, the Michigan Department of Transportation is bringing back the snowplow tracker map and has unveiled the names of all snowplows that will be used throughout the state.
To check the map, visit the MiDrive website at www.Michigan.gov/Drive and activate the MDOT snowplow tracker map layer.
Once you hover over an icon, the plow name will appear, and you can see a description of what the truck is doing, current road conditions and a driver's seat view of the road conditions.
You can visit the Michigan Department of Transportation website to view a list of all the snowplow names.
Here are the names for the Metro region and University region which includes metro Detroit.
