MADISON, WI (WSAU) — It’s that time of year again.
Those traveling on state highways are asked to be aware of pavement buckling as temperatures rise, causing pavement slabs to expand and push against each other.
When the pressure becomes too great, the pavement can buckle and cause dips or tenting.
While it’s difficult to predict if or where buckling may occur, WisDOT offers these tips:
- Slow down, buckle up, and focus your full attention on the roadway.
- Watch for slowing traffic and be ready to move over for all roadside workers, including highway crews as they repair damaged pavement.
- Before your trip, check 511 Wisconsin for the latest on any incidents or delays.
- If necessary, report serious pavement issues by calling 911. Be ready to provide specific location information.
