Real-time road conditions for Interstate 25 in Colorado is now available on your smart phone.

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) launched its new I-25 corrifor on CDOT Mobile. The app is free and helps motorists find out road conditions.

“We first launched CDOT Mobile in September 2012 for the I-70 corridor and have experienced great success with 50,000 users to date,” said Ryan Rice, CDOT Director of Operations. “By adding a large portion of the I-25 corridor to CDOT Mobile, more Colorado travelers – particularly commuters -- can take advantage of the real-time information. With more informed drivers, we can make our transportation system more productive, safe and efficient.”

The app features speeds, road conditions, road clsoures, construction activities and feeds from CDOT's cameras on I-25 between Colorado Springs to the south and E-470.

According to CDOT, the app was part of a five-year partnership with Colorado-based company urHub.

To download the app, all you have to do is text "CDOT" to 25827 or go to www.cotrip.mobi. You can also search "CDOT Mobil" in the app store.
