Where can I check road conditions?
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation maintains an interactive map detailing winter road conditions for major highways and interstates: 511wi.gov.
The department on Tuesday announced new winter road condition categories for the map, to more clearly convey conditions to drivers. The new conditions are: normal, marked in green; partially covered, in blue; completely covered, in pink; travel not advised, in black; and no report, in gray.
The map also flags active crashes and offers views through traffic cameras on some highways in Brown County — most notably, Interstate and U.S. 41, Interstate 43, State 172, State 54/57 and State 29. So before heading out, you can check the traffic cameras and see in real time the road conditions and traffic.
