​COVID-19 Update

Construction

WisDOT continues to monitor the public health crisis as it applies to essential highway maintenance and construction projects. Workers ​who support the construction of critical or strategic infrastructure are considered essential by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

• Wisconsin’s Safer at Home Order (Executive Order 12, issued March 24, 2020) allows travel for workers engaged in the operation and upkeep of infrastructure. No special documentation or permits are required.

• Workers are expected to continue to take precautions against the spread of COVID-19 at the office and job site. Monitor the Wisconsin Department of Health for latest information and guidance.

With our partners in industry, we will strive to keep this construction season on schedule.

Design

• Public involvement meetings and open houses for transportation projects are suspended temporarily and will be rescheduled as soon as possible.

• The department is reviewing options for alternative meeting formats.

• WisDOT will continue to rely on public input to help shape transportation projects and policies.
