We're helping bring America to the American Club! @ARTBA is holding its National Convention in Kohler, Wis. this September. So, why Wisconsin and what exciting things will we get to see, hear, and do? Find out in our latest podcast, available NOW: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

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

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…

"You hold the power to prevent these crashes." Safe actions truly save lives. Thanks to all of our members and our partners at @WisconsinDOT, @ATSSAHQ, @IUOELocal139, & @LightTheHoan for helping spread the word during the 2026 Work Zone Awareness Week.

Going from prelim designs only 30% developed to finishing several new interstate bridges, ramps, and improving pavement in less than a year? It's possible with Design-Build! Awesome seeing Hoffman Construction's Cranberry Interchange project this week. Thanks for the tour!

"It is such a benefit for him to be here. Sec. Duffy is not only looking out for the admin’s priorities, but he is also sensitive to Wisconsin’s interests. It makes for a great and productive partnership." - Exec. Dir. Steve Baas. Thanks @SecDuffy for the time in D.C. this week!

Fantastic group at our first-ever WTBA PAC ice fishing excursion. (There WAS ice under all that slush, we promise!) Thankful for the comfortable temps, strong camaraderie, and support for our crucial legislative efforts toward building a strong, reliable transportation system

Kyle Perkins’ story is painful, powerful, and poignant. Thank you, @620wtmj for the in-depth coverage and conversation. wtmj.com/shows/wisconsins-af…

The perfect fall weather and incredible venue provided for an excellent way to end our 2025 outdoor events season. Thanks @MilfordHills for hosting our Fall Sporting Clays Tourney! Awesome group of members were able to attend, compete, and connect.

We're willing to bet you know a college student who could use an extra $5,000. Are they studying civil engineering or a related field? Encourage them to apply today! wtba.org/scholarships

They say nothing good happens after midnight… Louie Chaplinski can tell you otherwise.  He's seen plenty of great overnight paving operations in his 30-year career. But late on a mid-September night (or… technically early in the morning), he was about to see something new.

You can see and smell fresh asphalt when you're driving by a work zone. To actually get to touch it? You have to be on a WTBA 'Behind the Barrels' tour. Kudos to @SenatorDevin and @RepLindeeBrill for learning a ton (even hopping on a paver!) during our Hwy 28 tour today!

The questions came early and often from @SenJesseJames & @RepHurd during our tour of Lunda's bridge construction in Greenwood yesterday. Our members were happy to answer all of them, sharing a unique look into what we do best: build the highest quality projects across WI.

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.

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.

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 spectruminfocus.com/section/…

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.”youtube.com/watch?v=-eG6OdYw…

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!
