A project on WIS 67 in Walworth County is nearly complete to improve safety. Crews have resurfaced the road, replaced beam guard, curb, gutter, and more. The highway has reopened, and the project is scheduled to complete in the coming weeks. https://t.co/O9fELhnNbI #WorkingForYou

It was a great way to get out, help local governments fix potholes and highlight our ongoing efforts to bolster Wisconsin’s 21st-century infrastructure across the state.

FIXING THE ROADS: WisDOT leadership helped @GovEvers wrap up his annual “Pothole Patrol” tour over the last week with stops in Altoona, Wisconsin Rapids, South Milwaukee, Siren, and Superior.

When you see a lane closure, use the zipper merge! Use ALL lanes all the way up until the merge point, and then simply take turns merging.

Merging early can create a long backup of vehicles – leading to congestion. The zipper merge keeps traffic flowing! https://t.co/Jge75vk0oA

A rehabilitation project continues on WIS 96 in Grand Chute to improve safety and ride quality. The project is scheduled for completion in late October. More details: https://t.co/KeCMUD74Rg

Happy 4th of July! Today our highway signs remind you to let the phone ring and keep your eyes on the road.

In the three years before the project, there were 31 total crashes along the highway. In the three years after the improvements were made, there were 18 total crashes, a 42% reduction.

This is another example of safety improvement through engineering.

SAFETY SUCCESS: A highway in Walworth County saw a reduction in crashes after a project was completed in 2020.

Crews widened the shoulders along a portion of WIS 11 near Delavan, closed the Pinks Lane intersection, and added rumble strips and turning lanes.

This map is clearly the best reference for planning your weekend…. but you should probably stick with https://t.co/uHS4LfJURf as your main resource. Take your time getting to your destination, stay alert, and enjoy the 4th!

Here’s a very professional and perfectly accurate paint map of some of the events and road impacts around the state this holiday weekend. (Thanks for the idea, @wsdot!) As you can see, there’s a lot going on just about everywhere.

[Wisconsin DOT @WisconsinDOT]

Most highway construction will be paused, but traffic will be heavy, parades will be had, and fireworks will be lit. (It’s gonna be lit!) 🎇🎆🔥

WisDOT is pleased to support this small but meaningful way to honor the bravery and sacrifice of our military heroes and their families. There are currently 483 active Gold Star license plates on Wisconsin roads, of those, 296 are personalized. Read more: https://t.co/4GoaX0fK5T

[Wisconsin DOT @WisconsinDOT]

Starting today, the personalized license plate fee for Gold Star specialty plates is now waived for Gold Star family members. A "Gold Star Family" is an immediate family member of a U.S. military service member who died in the line of duty.
