"Highway 41 is Main Street to the Fox Valley. It's so super important to us.". Late last week, 3 state lawmakers got an up-close look at that "Main Street" construction, walking right up to the I-41 & Ballard Rd interchange project thanks to WTBA.

Ever hear the word "Zemblanity" before?. Us either. But it wouldn't be the first time (and certainly won't be the last) the legendary Eric Petersen taught us something new. Stream Episode 6 of "Road Trippin' with WTBA" out NOW!.

The only way you can get this close to the I-41/Ballard Rd. interchange project is if you know the right WTBA members OR if you're a state lawmaker invited for an up-close visit. Awesome to see WTBA companies highlight their hard work this past Friday.

"Transportation moves WI. This project shows that when we invest in WI's transportation system, we are investing in more than just steel and concrete and asphalt, we're attracting visitors, we're improving the flow of commerce. and--most importantly--always improving safety."

Absolutely no fun was had at the 2025 WTBA Golf Outing. None whatsoever. Thanks to everyone who joined us at Trappers Turn yesterday! It was an incredible event.

A celebration more than a decade in the making! Congrats to everyone (and there were a LOT of people involved) on finishing the I-43 expansion on time and under budget. The future is bright, not only for MKE & Ozaukee counties but the entire state.

Integrity is rebuilding about 12 miles of US 8 between Crandon & Laona, moving 300,000 cu. yds of dirt, installing box culverts, pedestrian & ATV trails, and vastly improving the road's safety. Work scheduled for completion in early November.

"@GovEvers has been working on getting more funding for fixing our roads. We need to continue that and keep at it, not letting them get really bad before we fix them,” Ratcliff told WTBA. “This really helps me to know that our taxpayer dollars are being well spent.”.

Please remember Nano and think of Kyle--and the thousands of other men & women working to build and maintain our roads--every day when you get behind the wheel.

Kyle Perkins' broken legs, knees & hip will eventually heal. The anguish he has of losing friend & coworker Nano Alvarez one year ago today never will. “Many people’s lives changed, including mine," Perkins said at @WisDOTsoutheast's Work Zone safety event today.

A critical message with a busy holiday travel week on the horizon. Thank you, @WisconsinDOT for your partnership in helping remind drivers to slow down and respect the zone.

Great convo between Exec. Director @MMACBaas and Spectrum News 1 WI's @StorytellerRyan on Sunday morning's "In Focus." Thanks for bringing attention to major transportation funding challenges we face & how they'll have an impact on everyone in this state.

Extreme heat leads to some extreme situations. Be safe out there and PLEASE be mindful of the crews patching up the roads over the next few days.

“It’s not an easy feat to take on a project like this. Everybody from field personnel all the way up to upper management is super willing to help out on this. It’s much safer, it’s a lot better quality and I believe it’s, hopefully, the way of the future.”

Q: What happens when WTBA member companies get the opportunity to mill, pave & stripe a full freeway segment around-the-clock for 54 hrs?. A: A fantastically smooth driving surface, like the new one on I-894 in Milw. Co. Great work this weekend, Payne+Dolan (@Walbecgroup) folks!

Great news out this morning regarding tourism in Wisconsin! It's a good reminder of how critical that industry is to our state AND that you can't get to our countless amazing destinations without quality infrastructure. #ItAllBeginsandEndsWithaRoad.

Our next podcast recording session is in the books and ready for the edit booth. We're pretty amped to add it to our setlist. Want a clue? It's guaranteed to make you smile. Catch ya next week! In the meantime check out other eps by searching "WTBA" wherever you get your pods

"As EVs divert money out of the gas tax, how are we going to pay for the needs on our roads? That’s the big nut that the Legislature and the governor are working to crack," @MMACBaas said. Great convo w/ Tim Bremel on @wclo1230! Hear more at 09:25 mark >>
