Yesterday's Fall Sporting Clays tourney was a soaker, for sure. But you know what they say: no rain, no gain. Thanks to the 150+ members who joined us for a memorable day at Milford Hills!

How do you say thank you to a governor who committed to "fixing the damn roads" and lived up to that promise? With a nod to his favorite pastime, of course! Enjoy your well deserved retirement, @GovEvers. We're grateful for your leadership and belief in our industry.

The brake lights, the backups, the burnout... our members get it. Construction on I-94 in MKE is a challenge for EVERYONE. But we're building something much better for the future and it's critical we continue to fund it or risk an even longer project. Learn more in the vid!

The I-94 East-West reconstruction is a massively important and complicated project. Yesterday, a handful of state lawmakers got to see why, joining our members on a 2-hr. tour of the early west and east legs. Thanks to them for taking the time and our crews for giving us access!

“We kind of pride ourselves on being that neighborhood contractor. These are the towns we live in.” That's certainly the case on Hwy 31 (Racine) for A.W. Oakes. The company HQ is less than a mile away, meaning big project savings. Thx @RepGreta & @StateRepTip for touring w/ us!

Don't let the nickname fool you: there's nothing small about the so-called "Baby King Kong" pile driver @walbecgroup crews are using to transform the @PortGreenBay this summer. Check out their progress and what lawmakers @amaadair @EricWimberger think of it all!

Our crews know it's not always feasible to close an intersection where a state hwy meets a county rd. It's why Musson Bros. & subs are happily working FAST to improve safety w/ a roundabout at Hwy 145 & G. Thanks @WIStateSenJodi, @RepMelotik & Rep. Knodl for checking it out!

Awesome to check out the HUGE equipment @Walbecgroup is using to transform the Port of Green Bay. Thanks to our hosts and the six lawmakers who joined us on our site tour yesterday!

We love roads, no doubt. But sometimes you've gotta go OFF-ROAD. Awesome and fun ending to our WTBA of Tomorrow summer meeting with a 40-plus-mile ride through the dusty and scenic trails of Juneau County. Thanks @ALineRushSports!

A lot of heat, smoke and haze was no match for the fun we had at last week's WTBA Golf Outing! Awesome event with 216 members turning out for our fastest-selling event of the year. Thanks to all who joined us at @TrappersTurn!

Love to see WI and workzonesafe.com represented at @NationalFCCLA's Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. last week! Thanks to state program advisor Julie & @ARTBA reps for helping teens understand there's a face & family behind every flag, cone, and flashing light.

The Wisconsin River Bridges on I-39/90/94 carry 60,000 vehicles a day. Soon, the final cars will cross the 65-year-old bridges as crews prepare to open the NEW northbound side and begin shift to southbound. We checked out the progress last week w/ @Kraemer_NA & @HNTBCorp

Wishing a happy birthday of sorts to the U.S. interstate system! On this day in 1956, Pres. Eisenhower signed the Federal Aid Highway Act, helping launch a massive effort to create a robust freeway system across the US. Many WTBA members have and continue to build that system.

An eye in the sky helping our crews watch their backs in freeway work zones. Huge thanks to @wistatepatrol & @WisconsinDOT for their partnership in Eau Claire County this spring!

Mike Hahn has made a name for himself in construction, especially since he never intended to get into it in the first place. Check out our latest Road Trippin' pod "Never Say Never," available HERE or wherever you get your podcasts (just search WTBA!) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

We're excited to add a couple of big names to our membership ranks. Welcome @rwbaird and @thebiggreenw! Their unanimous approval at our Board meeting this week pushed us to 17 new members since the start of FY2026.

State Patrol pulled over 21 drivers doing an average of 19 MPH over the posted speed limit in the I-94 work zone near Eau Claire late last week. Some were going 20-24 MPH over. Thanks to WSP for your partnership in helping keep our crews safe!
