[12:35 pm] ⚡️We've updated the severe storm risk for tonight to a level 4 of 5 across parts of MN/IA. We expect a line of severe storms with damaging winds to hit I-35 and east after 10pm. Weakening into WI, but possibly still severe. CAMPERS: be ready for indoor shelter.

Warm temps continue today – please stay cool behind the wheel!

Crews are in the second year of a multiyear improvement project on I-41 in Fond du Lac and Winnebago counties to provide drivers with a smoother surface and decrease future maintenance costs. More info: projects.511wi.gov/i41fdloutrehab/ #WorkingForYou

Last year, more than 2,000 curb ramps were installed on state highways across Wisconsin in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). View our interactive map of all curb ramps and sidewalks here: wisdot.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappvie… #ADADay

Whether it's down the street or across the country, buckling up and putting your phone down are two of the most impactful actions any driver can take to prevent crashes. #BuckleUpPhoneDown

An intersection in Rice Lake saw a 100% reduction in crashes after being converted from a two-way stop control intersection into a roundabout. Roundabouts reduce vehicle speed along with high-risk conflict points, resulting in fewer fatal and severe injury crashes. #SafetySuccess

ICYMI: WisDOT celebrated the opening of the 14-mile I-43 North-South project on July 15 in Milwaukee and Ozaukee counties.

DYK? We implement a Digital Speed Reduction System (DSRS) on some WisDOT construction projects to keep workers and the traveling public safe. Crews can automatically change these digital signs to a lower speed limit when workers are present. #WorkZoneSafety
