News release from the City of Fort Wayne:
City of Fort Wayne Launches “TRECtheFort.com”
A New Interactive Map for Traffic-Related Events and ClosuresFort Wayne, Indiana (October 22, 2025) – The City of Fort Wayne Public Works Division is launching a new website, TRECtheFort.com, designed to improve communication with the traveling public regarding road restrictions and closures in Fort Wayne and surrounding areas. TREC, which stands for Traffic Related Events and Closures, will be the primary tool for Public Works to communicate road restrictions in the City. Traditional press releases will now be reserved for major planned road closure/restriction events only.
The TREC website is an interactive map that illustrates the locations of road restrictions and associated detour routes along with detailed information, including:
- Lane restriction or closure
- The duration of the event
- The activities taking place (e.g., construction, utility work, maintenance)
- The contractor or department contact information
A daily email bulletin is available for those who sign up in addition to the interactive map which provides the same information available on the TREC site. The daily emails can be customized to provide updates for the whole city, or for any combination of city quadrants.
This new tool offers a more streamlined, transparent, real-time, and accessible way to stay informed about travel impacts in Fort Wayne.
In addition to the website and email updates, the City is working to integrate this information directly into the Waze mapping app to help drivers plan their routes more efficiently.
