We’re teaming up with @GovEvers and local leaders this week to fill potholes and talk about the important road project investments we’re making in various communities. We kicked off the day with a stop in Stevens Point. #PotholePatrol #WorkingForYou
WisDOT is seeking public input for proposed improvements on the US 51/WIS 29 corridor from Foxglove Road to Bridge Street through the Wausau area in Marathon County. Visit the project website: wisconsindot.gov/Pages/projects…
Farming is a Wisconsin staple–our license plates say “America’s Dairyland” for a reason! With the #SpringPlanting season underway, remember to slow down and be patient around farm vehicles. Farmers–be sure to have the appropriate lights and signage on your vehicles.
Each year, WisDOT recycles nearly 220,000 tons of hot mix asphalt and an average of 780,000 tons of concrete. WisDOT incorporates recycled materials into improvement projects to reduce cost and avoid use of virgin material. Learn more: mapss.wisconsindot.gov/Public/Measure… #EarthWeek
WisDOT is holding a public involvement meeting to discuss proposed options for WIS 73/WIS 80/County A intersection located in the city of Pittsville, Wood County. The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 1, 2024, starting at 5 p.m., at the Pittsville Community Hall.
WisDOT's environmental engineering interns identify plant species, wetland boundaries and determine soil quality. These are all critical factors in project planning and logistics. Want to become an intern? Go here: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/e9c6bc… #EarthWeek
Construction along US 51 in Minocqua progresses as crews continue work on a retaining wall, and will begin sidewalk and curb construction. Last week crews finished installing storm sewer and completed grading operations.
Work has begun on a resurfacing project along US 51 in Minocqua to improve surface quality, safety, and accessibility for all road users. Crews are replacing the asphalt, curb and gutter and are installing a new sidewalk. projects.511wi.gov/us51-oneida/fu… #WorkingForYou
Happy #EarthDay! Today we celebrate and thank all the WisDOT environmental staff who are dedicated to protecting the environment as we advance Wisconsin’s transportation system. Tune in all this week as we’ll be highlighting some of the many ways we help protect the environment.
Construction to improve WIS 32 in the town of Wabeno in Forest County is scheduled to begin in May. Crews will replace pavement, curb and gutter, curb ramps and portions of the sidewalk. During construction, WIS 32 will be open to traffic with temporary traffic shifts.
Rear-end collisions are the most common work zone crash. Leave room to brake 🚚–––🚗 and eliminate distractions when driving! Take the #WorkZoneSafety quiz to test your knowledge. wisconsindot.gov/Pages/safety/e…
Work zones can be confusing. It’s important drivers familiarize themselves with all the work zone signs you might encounter this construction season. Work zones often require lane shifts or changing traffic patterns – keep your eyes peeled for these signs and slow down. #NWZAW
If you see signs for an upcoming lane closure, don’t merge early! Merging early can cause congestion and backups. Do the #ZipperMerge instead: ✅Use both lanes until prompted to merge ✅At the merge point, take alternating turns to merge into a single file line #NWZAW
ICYMI: WisDOT will be hosting a construction information meeting to discuss a project on WIS 80 between the Juneau County line and WIS 173 north in Wood County. The meeting is scheduled for (today) April 17 at 6 p.m. at the Remington Town Hall.
Last year, there were over 2,100 work zone crashes in the state. It's vital to obey posted speed limits and give your undivided attention to the road in construction areas. No matter the side of the barrels you’re on, work zone safety is everybody’s responsibility. #NWZAW
GO ORANGE DAY: WisDOT leadership and staff wore #Orange4Safety and shared their perspective on work zone safety. Together we can show support for the hard-working people improving infrastructure across our state. When you see construction workers, please slow down! #NWZAW
Tomorrow is #GoOrange4Safety Day. We encourage you to wear orange to show support of work zone safety and the importance of our construction crews. If you wear orange, send us a Tweet with your photos! Be sure to tag us and use these hashtags – #GoOrange4Safety and #NWZAW.
WIS 117 is closed from Express Way to South Street in Bonduel as crews continue work on the road. Construction crews will prepare to install curb and gutter for next week. For more updates, visit: projects.511wi.gov/wis117-shawano…
Traffic is reduced to one lane with a temporary traffic signal in Shawano County along WIS 47 at County S to East Branch Shioc River. Crews will continue work on the bridge and the concrete approach slabs in the southbound lanes at the East Branch Shioc River bridge.

DYK? According to the National Weather Service, there were 21 tornadoes that touched down in Wisconsin last year. Statewide tornado drills will take place today – it’s a perfect time to learn what to do if you’re on the road near a tornado. #SevereWeatherAwarenessWeek #wiwx
It’s that time of year – we’re reminding drivers to stay alert and give space to Adopt-A-Highway volunteers, who collect trash and recyclables along state highways each year. Read more: wisconsindot.gov/Pages/about-wi…
Spring is usually the start of severe weather season in Wisconsin. You should always be weather-ready by having an emergency kit in your vehicle. Don't forget to check 511wi.gov and active Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) on your phone. #SevereWeatherAwarenessWeek
