Lanes closed on I-41 to repair damaged roadway

The extreme heat was responsible for several area roadways buckling over the weekend

On Monday, June 24, 2025, in Winnebago County, the two right lanes of the northbound side just south of Highway 26 needed to be closed to allow emergency work to repair damages and in southern Fond du Lac and northern Dodge Counties, both north and southbound lanes buckled in the Highway 49 area, near Quad Graphics.

Both areas had lanes shut down for about an hour and a half while crews fixed the damaged area.

Its unknown if any vehicles were damaged by the buckled roadway.

The Wisconsin DOT Facebook page reported that over 50 reports of buckling roadways were reported due to the heat over the weekend.
