Stuff To Read
It's not Winter so it must be Road Construction Season!
 |
Well, the snow seems to have officially left us for awhile so it's time to dust off the orange barrels and tear up some streets. We'll keep this page up to date with a complete listing of road construction projects as they're provided to us by the city and state DOT folks. If you plan on traveling and want to see if there is construction between you and your destination, you can visit the WI DOT Plans & Projects page. Remember to slow down and pay closer attention when you're driving near road work. Don't forget... if you're caught speeding in a construction zone, the fine is automatically DOUBLED. If you come across a project that isn't listed here, we'd love to hear about it and add it to the site. Just drop an Email to: KeithEdwards@ClearChannel.com |
