We know Independence Day will be different this year without the Pops on the Rock Concert and Fireworks, but please stay safe while celebrating the Fourth of July.
Be kind to your neighbors and our fearful pets, and don't use illegal, loud fireworks. Consider using safer alternatives such as glow sticks, confetti poppers or colored streamers.

I-39/90 Expansion Project
Last week, we mentioned that the massive girders for the I-43 southbound flyover ramp to I-39/90 southbound would be put in place. Wow...they ARE massive and crews anticipate setting 56 girders this year for that interchange. In case you're wondering, the girders are a Wisconsin product from Veritas Steel in Wausau.
