Is anyone using the Waze app? From what I've heard, Waze finds alternate routes in real time when you're in need of it.

To add a new one, http://maps.nps.gov/blri/road-closures/, for those who are planning a trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway. This is updated at least daily. Select the section of interest from the menu on the left side of the scteen, or use the scroll wheel to scroll out to see 1/2 of the whole P'way.

Just a note...

I-40 and I-55 between Memphis and West Memphis are undergoing construction in various spots...and can be very tough to navigate at times.

I-40: Mississippi River Bridge 1 lane open, both directions (as of yesterday)
I-40: Undergoing MASSIVE renovations in West Memphis where 40/55 come together/spilt

I-55: Memphis major renovation @ Mallory Road (about 2-3 miles after entering Memphis from Arkansas).

Lanes @ Mallory are REALLY, REALLY tight...you'll fit, but you wouldn't know it by looking at it...lol

We are planning a trip from Mackinaw City, MI to E. Glacier National Park in Montana on US Hwy. 2. Does anyone have any information on the condition of that highway or is there a better way to go pulling a Fifth Wheel?
