BURLINGTON, MASS. – August 2, 2007— Maptuit Corporation reacted swiftly to the structural collapse of the I-35 W Bridge in Minnesota , just after 6PM Wednesday evening, by shutting down road segments around the affected area and updating its FleetNav Directions. The new information was made available to dispatchers shortly after the update, ensuring their drivers and trucks would be diverted around the affected area.

“We are doing everything we can to help our customers get their drivers out of the affected area as quickly and as efficiently as possible by updating and providing them with real-time information” said Jeff Papows, President and CEO of Maptuit. “Since early last night, our team has been hard at work updating our network.  We will continue to work local and state officials and the Department of Transportation to provide our customer with the latest information that affects their drivers. We sincerely hope that none of our customer’s drivers were affected by this”.
