The Wisconsin Department of Transportation recently distributed funds to improve public roads that run through county forests.
Some $320,600 will support 900 miles of public roads throughout 24 counties. The funding was administered by WisDOT through the County Forest Road Aids program, which covers costs for the improvement and maintenance of roads that traverse county forests. These roads are important for timber hauling operations, according to a WisDOT spokesperson.
“County forests are an asset to Wisconsin, and maintaining good access to these lands improves tourism, industry and agriculture,” said WisDOT Secretary-designee Craig Thompson. “WisDOT is pleased to work with our county partners to make good investments in our local transportation infrastructure.”
