The City of Gainesville produces a weekly press release that desribes the road closures for that week.
Is there a way to convert the text into notifications that layer on top of a transportation route map, like Waze, or to adjust route suggestions?

Press release as follows:

Road and Lane Closures for March 27, 2017 through April 2, 2017

Gainesville, FL – Below are the City of Gainesville traffic impacts scheduled for March 27, 2017 through April 2, 2017.
