This report is a compendium of time-sensitive information about the highway that will be updated periodically. The electronic report is provided as a self contained website but you can also request a stand-alone DVD disc version that will run directly on your local computer or from a LAN. Use the “Feedback” link on the home page to send an email to Region 2 headquarters to request a DVD copy of the conditions report. Also, please use the “Feedback” link to send comments or alert us to errors or bugs such as any dead links which may exist so we can continue to improve this product.

The report website requires the use of the following free ‘plug-in’ software applications:

• Adobe Reader – All of the maps are provided in PDF format and can be viewed in your web browser with the free Adobe Reader. Click here to go to the Adobe website and download the software.

• ArcReader – is similar to Adobe Reader for the purpose of viewing published maps. Most of the maps available in PDF format can also be accessed using our custom ArcReader application developed to allow more data access and customization.

• DivX – Images from the video logs have been converted to into video files (AVI format) using the DivX compression (codec). You can use any browser supported media player to play the video files however, your media player will need internal access to the DivX codec to display the videos.

Installing the programs listed above requires administrative privileges on your computer. You must contact your designated IT support technician to install the required components that are accessed from the report home page using the “Install” link. Each component described above is mutually exclusive so, if you have Adobe Reader currently installed you can proceed with using the website to access maps and text; just realize that the video and Arcreader features will not work properly even though the links are accessible.

All of the report content can be accessed directly using the “Segment Index” link on the main report page or from the page header link. Please refer to the “Users Guide” for specific details and examples of use and functionality. This window opened automatically if this is your first visit to the condition report site. If necessary, the page can be reopened at anytime using the "Install" link on the report home page.
