WDOT - IDIOTS

The above picture from 2003
Just driving from Oconto to Pestigo for work today. No, they haven't started construction yet this spring on the 11 or 12 mile stretch of Hwy 41 . They are going to 4 lane divided highway.

If I'm not mistaken, some space between the north and south bound lanes look a little close together. Why not just put enough space in the medium. You would think the DOT learned from Fond Du Lac county with accidents from cars crossing the medium there. Or those little dog fences they put by Oshkosh in between highway 41. After several deaths we all know they will come back to spend more money to put a band aid on it. They are building all new lanes and they can't put enough space in the center medium?

State highway officials should consider whether a barrier along the Highway 41 median in Fond du Lac County would have helped prevent a crash Wednesday that killed four people and left a fifth critically injured, a state
lawmaker said Thursday.

Hey WDOT, fix 41 while you still can. What a bunch if idiots! It's our tax dollars your spending!
